Lille boss Rene Girard insists Divock Origi won't return to Liverpool in January.
The 19-year-old is on loan at Lille for the season from the Reds but Mario Balotelli's poor form has fuelled talk that the Belgian could be recalled when the transfer window re-opens.
Giroud said: "It's only a rumour. There have been no approaches, as far as I know. It was agreed that Divock spend the year with us. There's no reason he should leave midway through the season. We really need him.
"As for Balotelli, the question was never asked."
