If I'm Mino, I'm telling him to join City for a mountain of cash and sign up for six years.
After four years make it clear he won't be signing an extension, so he's happy to sit tight in year five unless a club comes forward he likes and City still get some decent wedge back.
Otherwise, he is happy to wait out the contract and get his move to Madrid at the grand old age of 27 and a wheelbarrow signing on fee.
During the interim, we have had six years out of him and probably two Champions Leagues and another three Prem Titles at least.
Everyone's a winner!
