The veteran boss, in fact, went on to state that the perequitos had received no formal offers whatsoever for the star forward.
He said, "There has been much discussion in recent days, but the club has not received any offers for this player.
"We haven't spoken to anyone, and for me the bid is only genuine if a club gets in touch with us directly."
Brushing aside the now-generally accepted idea that García's move to London is a foregone conclusion he added, "if everything that came out in the media happened then virtually the entire squad would be sold."
He concluded by stating that Albert Riera, who has been linked with Liverpool, will stay at the club as a key player.
