The Mirror stating we aren't in for him.
Sunday Mirror Sport understands that City’s summer recruitment drive will stop once the protracted £32million arrival of Eliaquim Mangala from Porto has been completed .
Negredo will be sidelined for at least two months after suffering the injury during City’s friendly victory at Hearts nine days ago.
And with both Sergio Aguero and Stevan Jovetic plagued by fitness problems last season, there were suggestions in Spain that City might launch another move for Isco.
The champions lost out to Real Madrid in the £25m race to sign the 22-year-old last summer when Manuel Pellegrini tried to bring the attacking midfielder with him from Malaga.
But Isco is surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu following Madrid’s capture of Colombian World Cup star James Rodriguez from Monaco.
Pellegrini is still an admirer of the player he nurtured as a teenager on the Costa del Sol but, after adding Mangala to previous summer signings Fernando, Willy Caballero and Bacary Sagna, City will close the chequebook.
A City source said: “Unless there is another injury to another key player, then Mangala will be the final addition to our squad in this transfer window.”
