Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino insists Wolfsburg midfielder Diego isn't on his shopping list.
Pochettino has sought to distance himself from speculation suggesting that an approach is imminent.
He said in the Daily Echo: "Of course we know of him, as we know of any other players.
"But that piece of news doesn't make any sense, because Southampton is not interested in him.
"We have also seen this news in Spanish media, so I don't really know where these rumours come from."
