Liverpool are distancing themselves from speculation they could sign Porto winger Otavio this summer.
Reports over the weekend suggested the Reds had reignited their interest in the 27-year-old, who can also play in midfield.
However, the Liverpool Echo says the rumours are 'entirely fabricated'.
Club insiders have claimed that Otavio not a target and never has been.
Those sources believe that reports have been intentionally created in order to drum up interest in the Portuguese star.
