Meanwhile, Cullen remained coy when questioned about the links with Snyman on Friday ahead of Leinster’s Champions Cup clash against Sale Sharks.
“It’s this time of year, isn’t it?” Cullen said with a smile.
“Marcus [O Buachalla, Leinster’s head of communications] will reveal all if there was something to be revealed.
“At the moment, our attention is on Sale tomorrow; we talk about it at this time of year, and there are lots of different conversations and discussions happening in the background.
“So when those become a bit firmer, we’ll be the first to let you know, but, at the moment, it’s not where our attention is, and that is out of respect for all different parties as well. So we will focus on the game now; believe it’s a sell-out; great to be here; the place is looking well.”
It is also reported that Snyman is keen to remain in Ireland even if it means switching to Leinster.
South African influx
Even though Snyman might not be headed back to South Africa, a number of players who are currently abroad could visit the Republic again.
According to an article published earlier this month in the Afrikaans newspaper Rapport, Gloucester back-rower Ruan Ackermann, Springbok center Jan Serfontein, and prop Trevor Nyakane are all keen to go back to South Africa.
According to the same report, Jasper Wiese, whose exit from the Leicester Tigers was confirmed on Thursday, is a player whom the Sharks are interested in signing.
