Demba Ba's representatives claim the Newcastle star is attracting interest from Manchester United, but have stressed there have been no offers.
Senegal international Ba, who is currently on Africa Cup of Nations duty, has enjoyed a stunning impact since joining Newcastle on a free transfer from West Ham United last summer.
He has scored 15 goals in the Premier League this season and has netted in both of the Magpies' games against reigning champions United.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with the 26-year-old amid reports Ba has a release clause that could allow him to leave St James' Park for under £10million.
Armand Doorn, who is a member of Ba's management team headed by the player's brother, confirmed there is interest in the forward, but there is 'nothing concrete' to report.
"A lot of clubs are calling for Demba. At this moment, we are doing it [transfer negotiations] with his brother, before we did it alone and now we do it with his brother," Doorn told the IBTimes UK.
"Obviously he is doing very well at Newcastle, he's not injured and a lot of clubs are showing interest, but there is nothing concrete at this moment.
"It is true Manchester United, it's true, but nothing concrete.
"No manager [has] called me and said, 'Armand, can we sit down' and everybody is asking how much his release clause is, but nothing concrete.
"There is a clause, but it is not simple. Newcastle knew when they signed him that it was in his last [contract].
"PSG did show some interest, maybe more concrete too, but this is because I know there are a lot of new people on the board there and a lot of people know Demba already, since he was young.
"So it is easier for them to talk to the brother, to the family and yes there is a possibility, but again, there is nothing concrete. We haven't sat down with anybody yet."
