Lille have moved to cool reports of Divock Origi joining Liverpool this month.
The Daily Mail says being thrust into the spotlight at Anfield where the pressure is greater is not seen as the wisest move.
The player is keen to join but much may hinge on how Daniel Sturridge looks on his return to Melwood this week and how his thigh holds up to training and games.
Lille director Jean-Michel Vandamme said: "Origi to Liverpool now? It would cost at least £4.7m but at the moment it is not possible."
