"I know nothing directly and don't want to get distracted from my job," he said. "All I know is that I belong to Atletico Madrid and the rest, for now, doesn't bother me."
Atletico director of sport Toni Munoz has admitted that scouts had been to watch Ibanez in action this season but was adamant that they had no intention of selling him.
"We have not received an offer for him," Munoz said. "For the time being there is nothing to be said on the matter."
