Nigerian forward, Kelechi Iheanacho does not want a move outside the English Premier League.
The striker is set to reject offers to leave England and has shunned interest from the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.
Hide quoted text The 20-year-old striker is expected to leave the Etihad this summer in search of more playing time after falling down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola, but the player prefers to stay in England.
A source close to the player told ESPN, “He has been in England for the last three years and is two years away from getting his UK citizenship.
“There is no point in moving outside England right now.”
However, West Ham United are reportedly leading the chase for his services and have tabled a fee of around £20 million.
But it is understood that the deal would not go through immediately, until a legal dispute with his former agents is resolved.
It added that, “Nothing will happen for at least two weeks when we expect judgement to be delivered in that case.
“The final hearing was last week, and the decision will be communicated to both parties in about 14 days.
“After that, we can go ahead with the process.”
