LIVERPOOL face competition for the signing of Greek defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos according to Schalke's sporting director Horst Heldt.
Papadopoulos has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool throughout the summer, with some reports even suggesting that a deal had already been agreed only to be held up as the player recovered from a serious knee injury.
But now Heldt has dispelled rumours that a move to Anfield is all but complete and stressed that while there has been interest from a number of clubs, Schalke are yet to receive an official bid for the player.
Speaking to German newspaper Bild Heldt said: "There are a lot of clubs to take into account.
"Specifically, there is nothing that has arrived, as far as I know."
Heldt also stressed that while Schalke will speak to Papadopoulos about a transfer if a formal offer arrives, he is hopeful that the German club can hold onto the 21-year-old.
He added: "We're going to speak to each other when it takes concrete form.
"There is currently nothing concrete, and besides, he is a mainstay for Schalke."
