"I spoke to Rob on Monday night and, as far as I'm aware, we are travelling down to Cardiff, probably today," explained Hughes.
"I'm not aware that Rob doesn't want to talk to Cardiff. Dario's comments have come as a bit of a surprise to me.
"When I spoke to Rob I told him we were going to talk to Cardiff this week and he didn't tell me he wasn't interested.
"I have arranged to go to Cardiff with him. As far as I know, I'm picking him up and we are driving down."
