Leeds United say Jermaine Beckford's contractual position at Elland Road remains "unchanged" amid talk that QPR plan to bid for the striker in January.
The Championship club have been heavily linked with a move for Beckford in the forthcoming transfer window, and the 25-year-old's future is as unclear as ever with his dwindling deal at Elland Road yet to be extended.
Contract talks between Leeds and Beckford broke down during the summer, leaving the forward on the transfer list for several weeks, and United are not believed to be in active discussions with his agent, Nick Rubery.
Leeds are presently running the risk that Beckford will leave Elland Road on a free transfer when his existing three-year deal – signed in October 2007 – expires in June of next year, a gamble the League One club opted to take before the start of this season by reversing their decision to transfer-list him.
United's board were understood to have subsequently rejected offers from Coventry City and Sheffield United, while West Bromwich Albion were also seriously interested in signing the striker for around £2million ahead of the 2009-10 term, and Leeds remain adamant that Beckford will not be sold before the end of this season, regardless of whether an agreement is reached over a new deal.
