He has attracted interest from Galatasaray who are keen to sign Digne on loan for the season.
Journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu reported the news on social media alongside the claim Digne had already agreed personal terms, which Digne denied.
The reporter then shared a photo of a document highlighting Galatasaray's submission of a loan offer - but the contract showed no evidence of Digne agreeing terms.
In fact, Digne has rejected the offer of a loan move to the Turkish giants as he is keen to stay and fight for his place at Villa Park.
