Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp won't green light a move for Thomas Lemar unless Monaco drop their valuation.
The Liverpool Echo says Klopp is reluctant to spend £90million on Lemar.
The Monaco midfielder has long been a target for the Anfield club and their interest has been fueled by the departure of Philippe Coutinho.
But Klopp is not prepared to stump up the huge sum being demanded by the principality club.
Lemar remains of interest, but it could be the summer until a deal is struck.
Reports on Wednesday suggested terms have already been agreed with the player.
