Dietmar Riegler, the president of Wolfsberger, has confirmed that the club have received no offers for Nikolas Polster.
Polster is reportedly keen on a move to Celtic, though Brentford, Brighton, Wolves, Saint-Etienne and Augsburg have all also been credited with an interest.
Such widespread interest means that the 24-year-old is expected to leave this summer, after a disappointing 10th-place finish in the Austrian Bundesliga.
However, Riegler has confirmed that nothing has gotten off the ground yet.

Wolfsberger president Dietmar Riegler: no offers for Nikolas Polster
Via Krone, Riegler said: “There is not a single official request.
“It’s in WAC’s DNA to train and sell players – often things happen quickly.”

Polster has spent his entire career in Austria, having spent time on the books at Austria Wien and LASK Linz as well as Wolfsberger.
He has been compared to Manuel Neuer for his aggressive positioning and keenness to come off his line “sweeper keeper” style.
The retirement of Kasper Schmeichel has created a vacancy in the Hoops’ goalkeeping department, and Martin O’Neill appears to be targeting a number one.
Celtic have missed out on Tjark Ernst, who has now agreed a move to Feyenoord after being chased by the Celts this summer.
The Hoops have also been paying close attention to Dinko Horkas, who is set to leave Las Palmas after their failed bid for promotion.
Other goalkeeper targets who have now completed moves elsewhere include Jari de Busser, Calum Ward and Pierce Charles.
Has he done enough?
Martin O’Neill has confirmed that Celtic are targeting a goalkeeper
Speaking to the media this week, O’Neill said: “We’re definitely looking for another goalkeeper.
“Whether it be a youngish fellow, same age as Sinisalo, or somebody a bit older, we’re definitely looking at it.
“Because we’ve only got Sinisalo here at this minute and we’ve got Ross [Doohan].”
Viljami Sinisalo deputised last season in the absence of Schmeichel, and it remains to be seen if he will continue to receive minutes this season.
