Chelsea have also been linked with the youngster in recent days, but VfB chief Jochen Schneider insists there's been no official approach.

He explained: "We have among others loaned Oriol Romeu from Chelsea, so we've a good relationship.

"If Antonio was of interest, they would make themselves known to us."
