The report is that we've enquired, not that they want to sell him to us.
For all we know they told Danny "not for all the money in Coutts you bald cunt."
I do find it very weird they don't see anything in this guy as backup/rotation to Jesus over N'ketiah, who I see as very average and they were quite happy to let him go but no one matched their valuation and he played his way to a squad place last season. But he's probably hit his ceiling and isn't getting any better, and he's not that good now.
