Gerard Houllier has already confirmed that he will be meeting Auxerre to discuss the availability of both players, but Roux insists that no deal has been struck with the Reds.

Roux said: "There are some contracts that are running and have to be respected, this is not the right time to talk about transfers. It is true that every time a season ends it is not unusual to see Auxerre players linked with moves abroad, it's happened before.

'This is the case for Cisse and Boumsong, as well as Kapo and Mexes. Cisse's current contract doesn't end until 2007 while Boumsong is contracted to the club until next year
