A report from Marca on Friday had Reds fans concerned, claiming a contract renewal at the Merseyside club 'was impossible' and that the 26-year-old had informed Liverpool of his intent to depart at the end of the season.

As the end of his current deal has grown closer, speculation has persisted that the defender was seduced by the idea of moving to the Spanish capital to play alongside England teammate Jude Bellingham.

Despite the rumours that he was keen on a move, reports have also suggested that his representatives have remained in discussions with chiefs at Liverpool over a new contract at the club.

Romano has now moved to shut down the claims by the Spanish outlet, however, and to give supporters some hope that the generational talent will not depart when the season ends.

The well-known transfer specialist confirmed the interest of Los Blancos on his YouTube channel but stated that nothing has been agreed with them or communicated to Liverpool, who remain in talks with the player.
