Neither Tottenham Hotspur nor Liverpool have tabled a bid for reported transfer target Albert Riera, according to the Spain winger's club Espanyol.
The 26-year-old former Manchester City loanee has been linked with a return to the Premier League after a superb season in La Liga.
Riera scored four times in 36 appearances for the Barcelona-based club which led to reports that both Liverpool and Spurs - with Spanish coaches - were keen to sign him.
However, Espanyol president Daniel Sanchez has denied reports that he has received interest from either club for a player who reportedly has a buy-out clause of 24million euros.
He said: "There has not been an offer for anyone.
"Anyway, he knows what his price is if he wants to leave.
"Albert knows that all too well and at the moment we have not received a proposal for him, whether he likes it or not, so he will remain an Espanyol player."
