Benfica president Rui Costa claims the Portuguese outfit will not allow players like Enzo Fernandez to leave in January.
"We have the sole objective of having a winning season, no player will leave – unless it is due to the clause – which at this moment is fundamental for the squad," Costa told the media (h/t Goal).
"What I can promise our supporters is what I did at the beginning of the year. This is a sporting project, not a financial one. Fortunately, we are not experiencing financial problems and we have no need to sell players."
Fernandez has been strongly linked to Liverpool with some sources claiming the Reds already made contact with Benfica over the midfielder.
However, it doesn't look like Fernandez or any midfielder will join Liverpool in January.
The release clause on Fernandez stands at £102m. That's just £27m short of what Dortmund are said to be asking for Jude Bellingham.
