Speculation suggested Villa had tabled an offer for the giant forward, with Valencia director Juan Sanchez quoted as saying the Midlands club were leading the hunt for Zigic.
But O'Neill has moved to reject the speculation and says he is in the dark over the reports.
"There's not a grain of truth in the story that we've put in an offer for the player and I don't know where it is coming from," O'Neill told the club's official website. "I don't even know who the player's agent is.
"I wouldn't normally comment but there have been so many stories claiming this as fact and people have been quoted.
"They're completely wide of the mark. So I felt I had to put the record straight."
