Men article says De Jong wants to stay at City, apparently he's told City what he's wants??, and now its up to City??, still looks like we will have to wait and see what will happen....hopefully good news......

I'm surprised that no numpty has said that Kia Joorabchian is his agent/advisor and he will be trying to squeeze as much money out of the deal as possible ;-)

I think Chelsea may pay what he wantsMillwallawayveteran1988 said:"There are no reasons to move on"
Other than the obvious one for a footballer........Money.
A defensive midfielder is never going to command a salary that a forward would get so it depends how much he wants.
Another club will probably pay £100k a week though if they get him for free so I expect thats what we will have to pay. It should have been nailed by now though so a bit of a worry as he is still an important part of the team.
Worst thought ever is that he is the type of player Ferguson would go for.

So City not giving him a contract so far isn't down to Joorabachian supposedly being his agent, then!
As stated, and as borne out by Nige's comments, it comes down to simple bargaining over money.
Certainly not Mancini or the club taking offence at being offered guidance from a snake.
He has 18 months left, City will stall as long as possible until which time, they either decide to pay him what he's after or sell him before he depreciates in value any further.
Funny how nobody has mentioned that Vinny is in exactly the same contract situation, stand-off.

Just hope it gets sorted out soon.
De Jong turned down £100,000 a week, now he could be out

Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong faces the uncomfortable prospect of being sold this summer after failing to agree a new contract at the Etihad Stadium.
Dutch international De Jong was one of City's key players last season but turned down a contract worth in excess of £100,000-a-week in the summer.
Now De Jong finds himself on the fringes of manager Roberto Mancini's plans and it is understood City will listen to offers at the end of the season if the 27-year-old has not managed to extend a contract that will only have 12 months left by then.
De Jong is a firm favourite with City supporters but undoubtedly his stock has fallen at the club over the last six months as players like YaYa Toure, Gareth Barry and James Milner have moved ahead of him.
City remain open about negotiating with De Jong but there are currently no plans for more talks with his agent Rodger Linse.
With Mancini now aware that players must be moved out before any major signings can arrive, De Jong could be sacrificed to make way for midfield targets.
He will not be sold in the January transfer window.
However, it was telling that with Toure away at the Africa Cup of Nations and Owen Hargreaves short of fitness, De Jong still failed to make Mancini's starting line-up for the recent Barclays Premier League win at Wigan.
He has only made eight starts in the Premier League this season and there is a feeling that he may have missed the boat in turning down what City thought was a generous offer last summer.
City captain Vincent Kompany is to combine his football career with life as a student after signing up to do a Masters degree.
Kompany, 25, turned down moves to big clubs such as Manchester United in his teenage years to complete university studies in Belgium.
Now it is understood the central defender has gained a place on a Business Administration course at Manchester Business School.
Sportsmail understands Kompany is likely to begin his studies at the start of the next academic year in September.
