Aitor Karanka is currently among the favourites to land the Sunderland job.
Guillem Balague has suggested that Sunderland have made no contact with Aitor Karanka.
Karanka posted a cryptic message on Twitter last night, which had a number of Sunderland fans thinking that he could be heading to the Stadium of Light.
However, Balague insists that Karanka has not spoken to the Wearsiders yet.
Indeed, the Sky Sports pundit claims that Karanka will only join a club if the project for the future excites him.
Karanka remains one of the favourites to land the Sunderland job, but the North East side are taking some time to make their mind up over who should take over from Simon Grayson.
Sunderland know how important getting their next managerial appointment right will be, as their current position is precarious.
Sunderland are currently sat at the bottom of the Championship table, with just one league victory to their name over the campaign so far.
The Black Cats are next in action after the international break, when they take on Millwall in two weekends’ time.
