Christian Poulsen's agent has opened negotiations with Liverpool but is not sure if an agreement will be reached.
Poulsen has emerged as a transfer target for the Reds this summer, with Roy Hodgson confirming his interest in the Juventus midfielder this week.
Liverpool have spoken to Poulsen's representative, Joern Bonnesen, and are reported to have offered a three-year deal.
However, it does not look like anything will be finalised in the near future after Bonnesen returned to Denmark.
"I don't know if we will reach an agreement," the agent told Tipsbladet.
"I will go home without a contract and we will work from there.
"This is not something which will be resolved in two minutes."
The agent of Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen has visited Liverpool to discuss personal terms.
Bonnesen has been on Merseyside to hold discussions about a potential move for the 30 year-old.
Poulsen is seen as a direct replacement for Javier Mascherano, who has told manager Roy Hodgson he would like to leave Anfield.
