Reading FC manager Veljko Paunovic refused to address speculation that suggests Omar Richards has agreed to sign for German giants Bayern Munich in the Summer.
Richards has been an integral part of the Royals side so far this season at left-back and his performances have seen him linked with numerous top-flight clubs in England and abroad.
Earlier this week, reports suggested that Richards has now agreed to sign with the Bavarian club - with Sky Sports stating that an 'agreement was reached between Richards' representatives and Bayern on Monday afternoon following three months of negotiations'.
After being asked to provide clarity on the reports, Royals boss Veljko Paunovic said: "As long as Omar is with us, and puts in performances throughout the whole season, especially in the last few games then there's nothing to talk about.
"What we control is that Omar is under contract with us until the end of the season and that he shows full commitment.
"I am very happy with what I saw against Blackburn and if he stays in the same mental state and performance, there is nothing to really mention.
"Let's give him a break and let's just talk about Reading.
"Let's just talk about us because we are here and this is happening now."
