Cruzeiro forward Kleber has said that he does not want to answer any more questions about a possible move to Liverpool.
The 25-year-old has been persistently linked with a move to Anfield for the 2009/10 season.
"I don't want to talk about this anymore. It's getting boring. If I play badly in a couple of days, the fans will start saying I want to quit," he said to Radio Globo BH.
"If I had an offer and if it's profitable for both me and Cruzeiro, my agent (Giuseppe Dioguardi) and (club president) Zeze (Perrella) will try to sort it out."
Club spokesman Guilherme Mendes said that Kleber will not leave the Mineirao for less than 15million euros.
Kleber was signed by the Belo Horizonte side from Dynamo Kiev earlier this year in a swap deal for forward Guilherme which saw the Ukrainian side pay an additional 5million euros.
Mendes said: "Firstly, Cruzeiro have no interest in negotiating for forward Kleber. He was signed and inked a long-term contract with the club and Cruzeiro expect he will win a number of titles in our shirt.
"Neither Cruzeiro nor the player's agent have been made an offer from any European club at this time. There have only been discussions between the player's agent and Zeze about what would happen if a 7million euro offer was made.
"Cruzeiro told him that the club would not discuss any offers of less than 15million euros."
Kleber has scored 19 goals in 21 appearances for Cruzeiro.
LONDON (AFP) – Accountants have voiced concern over the short-term viability of Liverpool's parent company as the club's American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett, attempt to refinance 350 million pounds of debt.
Annual accounts for Kop Football (holdings) Ltd., which were published on Thursday, showed that the parent company made losses of 42.6 million pounds in the year to July 2008, largely due to interest payments on the debt that was incurred to enable Hicks and Gillett to buy the club.
The club's accountants, KPMG, issued their warning in a note attached to the accounts.
It said: "The group has credit facilities amounting to 350 million pounds which expire on 24 July 2009. The directors have initiated negotiations to secure the replacement finance required by the group and these negotiations are ongoing.
"These conditions... indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern."
Hicks and Gillett have assured supporters that they will be able to refinance the debts but the warning from the accountants will inevitably increase hostility from fans who have been angered by the way in which the Americans financed their takeover.
The owners last year put plans to construct a new 60,000-seat stadium close to the club's current home at Anfield on hold because of financing constraints arising from the club's debt level and the credit crunch.
Liverpool's underlying financial performance remains healthy with the football club having registered record turnover of 159.1 million pounds, up from 133.9 million the year before, and profit of 10.2 million.
