Leeds chief executive Trevor Birch has again insisted that no players will be leaving Elland Road during January's transfer window.
With Leeds £78 million sterling in debt and up for sale as they strive to avoid administration, speculation surrounds the futures of players such as Mark Viduka, Alan Smith and James Milner.
All three have been linked with possible moves to Manchester United, while Viduka is again seemingly attracting the interest of Inter Milan. The Italian giants tried to land the Australia international on loan for the season in the summer, offering £2 million for the deal, but Leeds declined.
However, Viduka is an attractive buy as he is not cup-tied in Europe and would be able to play in either the Champions League or UEFA Cup later this season.
Although Viduka has only scored three goals to date, and with his strike in the 3-2 victory over Fulham on Sunday ending a nine-match drought, he is showing signs he is back to his best following the arrival of caretaker-boss Eddie Gray.
Despite Viduka's £65,000-a-week wages, Leeds are determined to hang onto a player they see as vital if they are to avoid relegation.
Just last week, Birch revealed it would take a staggering bid for Leeds to consider selling the 28-year-old, with only Chelsea seemingly carrying such financial muscle.
