Leicesterwas rejected as they are not willing to sell the player.
However, reports also claim that they are preparing another offer as they are keen on pushing for the player.
The 21-year-old penned a long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2027 and Brendan Rodgers does not wish to sell the player.
He said:
"He’s not for sale. There is going to be interest in him, that’s the point. I had a long chat with him the other day. When you are as talented as he is there’s going to be lots of speculation, but he’s not for sale.
"I’ve got no doubts that in future he’ll play on the highest stage but he feels good here and he’s very comfortable with his teammates.
"When we signed him from Saint-Etienne (in 2020) he had played only 26 games at senior level. Everyone had a look at him back then but he came here and flourished.
"He was happy to sign a new five-year deal in March.
"He has perhaps got an opportunity to get himself into France’s World Cup squad, which is about playing regularly, so I’m pretty calm on it. He’s very happy here."
