Perhaps if they offered him on a loan he would consider paying the wages, but that's about it. Maybe - maybe - if the offered him on a deal significantly lower than what they paid or something where City could get rid of Robbie in the process - he'd MIGHT make an exception.
Ex:
Julio Cesar - joined at 25.
Maicon - 24.
Ibrahimovic - 24.
Kolarov - 24.
Silva - 24.
Balotelli - 20.
Boyata - 21.
Milner - 24.
... all relatively unestablished (at the time) and highly talented. Hernan Crespo (at 31) came on a loan and was later hired on a free. Etc. Buys like RSC I couldn't imagine happening in a million years.

The issue here is whether Ibra wants to play for City. I havn't got the impression that Ibra has something against the PL or City as such, but one of his main goals in his career is to win the CL. He has 4-5 years tops left as a world-class player. I don't think he want to throw away one of those years in a club that doesn't have a cl-spot.
