Ezgjan Alioski's agent has rebuffed reports linking the Leeds United wing-back with a move to CSKA Moscow.
The Whites' left-back is out of contract at Elland Road at the end of June and could leave on a free transfer, with Victor Orta and the recruitment team actively pursuing a replacement.
Leeds have offered fresh terms to the North Macedonia defender, who will now be able to focus on his future after his side crashed out of Euro 2020 on Monday night.
United will not return with an improved offer and whilst Alioski played well enough, North Macedonia's struggles on the European stage are unlikely to have raised his stock.
Over the weekend, Turkish outlet Fanatik reported that CSKA Moscow were set to offer the 27-year-old €2.5million a season to sign on in Russia.
However, his representatives has confirmed this is not true, ruling out a move to the Russian side, in a boost to Leeds.
“The information is incorrect,” agent Dino Lamberti told Sport24.
“CSKA did not contact me about Ezgjan’s transfer.”
Despite North Macedonia's struggles, Alioski has impressed for his country, netting in their 2-1 defeat to Ukraine.
After his performance in their opening Group C match against Austria, he earned the third-highest player rating of all players at the tournament in the opening phase.
His score of 8.47 out of ten was only bettered by Schick (8.66) and Lukaku (8.63), with Alioski's Elland Road team-mate Phillips just behind him with an average score of 8.38.
