You're right, he didn't confirm it as such

From the pinkun -

Hughton admitted to being interested in Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella amid rumours of an 8million euros offer from the Canaries but refused to discuss what stage the negotiations are at.

?I?ve heard and seen those reports in the press,? said the City boss when quizzed about the 30-year-old. ?But it?s exactly the same as our work with Gary (Hooper) ? from our side we worked in the correct way, very much behind the scenes and until there was something official to say we didn?t say it.
