Rumours linking Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk with a summer move to PSG are believed to be wide of the mark.
The Dutchman is yet to sign a new contract at Anfield, with his current terms set to expire at the end of the season.
Many teams across Europe and beyond are said to be interested in the 33-year-old's services as speculation begins to pick up pace.
Last week, footage of Van Dijk deep in conversation with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Luis Campos in the Anfield tunnel certainly raised eyebrows, following Liverpool's exit to the French outfit in the hour prior.
The video gave wind to the rumour mill, linking Van Dijk with a move to Luis Enrique's side, however, the talk 'wasn’t about his future' but in fact the two-legged round of 16 battle between the two sides.
French Journalist Julien Laurens has reported that no transfer talks have taken place between Van Dijk and PSG.

Van Dijk is one of three Liverpool stars whose future remains uncertain, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah also yet to extend their stays at Anfield beyond this current campaign.
The 33-year-old has remained tight-lipped on his future, although it has been widely reported that he is likely to stay at Anfield and sign a new contract.
Nevertheless, despite all the talk about his future, Van Dijk is still unsure what it holds.
‘As long as I am calm to you guys then there is no need to panic; Van Dijk said last week. 'Whatever may happen in the future. If I was worried you would see me playing a little bit worried and that is not the case.
‘Maybe I will run this fully down and then if there is still no news, I don't know. I don't know at this stage (what will happen).
'But I don't want to create any anxiety or anything like that, I just keep my head down and focus.'
The conversation between Van Dijk, Al-Khelaifi and Campos was not planned, but rather that the Dutchman wanted to issue an apology, according to RMC Sport.
The Liverpool captain was involved in a clash with the Portuguese chief during the team's first leg of the Champions League round of 16. However, the trio smoothed things out after the tie.
