Bayer Leverkusen general manager Michael Reschke has confirmed interest from abroad in alleged Liverpool target Renato Augusto.
The former Flamengo youngster is tipped for a bright future and Reschke believes it is inevitable clubs like Liverpool are monitoring his progress.
After only signing for the Bundesliga club last year, Bayer are reluctant to even consider losing the 20-year-old attacking midfielder.
"The fact that a player like Renato Augusto awakens desire in other clubs was always clear," Reschke told Express.
"A transfer is not open to debate for us. I had a long chat with the player before Christmas.
"Renato feels happy about us at Bayer and wants to make the step up to the Brazilian national team.
"The boy is facing a great career ahead of him. Should he leave eventually, he can choose where he wants to go."
