Nicolas Gaitan agent: "I have not spoken to anyone"

Nicolas Gaitan's agent has revealed that he has not spoken to any clubs about a transfer away from Benfica.

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old in the January transfer window.

However, Jose Iribarren has dismissed the speculation, insisting that any interested clubs must speak to Benfica first.

Speaking to TMW, Iribarren said: "We start from this premise: anybody who wants Gaitan must speak with Benfica. Then, once the club accept the offer, they can talk to me.

"Personally, I have not spoken to anyone, as its clearly not appropriate for me to give away Benfica's players."

Gaitan has made 17 appearances for the Portuguese side this season.
