Reports from Germany indicate that Liverpool have seen their second bid for Florian Wirtz rejected.
The Reds submitted an offer worth £109 million for the attacking midfielder, but Bayer Leverkusen are looking for £126m.
However, the deal isn't thought to be in any danger, with the two clubs still working to find an agreement for the German international.

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is in talks with Barcelona regarding a free transfer this summer, talkSPORT understands.
The 31-year-old is set to be a free agent - five years after joining the Gunners from Atletico Madrid.
Mikel Arteta's side are keen on extending the Ghana international's stay, but so far negotiations have failed to end in an agreement.

Partey recently enjoyed his best personal season in north London - featuring in a whopping 52 games - the most in a single campaign of his career.
He also found the back of the net on four occasions in the Premier League - his most ever in a single league season since the 2014/15 term.

They are also looking at Atlanta's Ederson and Inter's Nicola Barella as they also hope to add a central or defensive midfielder in addition, while a striker remains a key priority.
Victor Osimhen is the main target, and it is understood the Nigerian striker is open to a move to Saudi Arabia.

Trent Alexander-Arnold may deserve an apology from some Liverpool fans amid fresh details of his move to Real Madrid.
That's the view of talkSPORT's Troy Deeney following the defender's hostile reception from Reds supporters ahead of his departure.
Alexander-Arnold was booed at Anfield after he announced he will leave Liverpool in the summer when his contract expires.
It meant he would join Madrid as a free agent, but talkSPORT have reported that Los Blancos will pay a €10million fee for him.
The deal, which is actually worth around £10m for Liverpool as they don't have to pay his wages, allows him to join for the Club World Cup.
Much of the animosity from Reds fans was centred on the right-back leaving without the club earning some money from his exit.
"A lot of people in the Liverpool fan base were frustrated as they were getting nothing for him.
