The Guardian is quoting his agent as saying the player will not be putting in a transfer request.
Meanwhile Kevin De Bruyne will not submit an official transfer request to Wolfsburg in an attempt to force through a move to City, his agent has said.
City, who first identified the Belgium midfielder as a key transfer target for the summer at the start of the year, are still yet to receive an official response to the £47m bid lodged with the Bundesliga side last week having originally offered £35m.
City had hoped that De Bruyne would push for a move by making clear to his current club that he wants to move back to the Premier League but his agent, Patrick De Koster, has insisted he has no intention of handing in a transfer request.
“There is no way we would do something like that – we have a good relationship with Wolfsburg and a transfer request is not something that happens in Germany,” he told the Guardian.
“At this stage we have not received a call to say that any bid has been accepted and until we do Kevin will stay where he is.”
Got a feeling the odds are lengthening on this one unfortunately.
