Kasper Schmeichel's agent insists his client did not snub a loan move to Swedish side Elfsborg.[LNB] Reports in Denmark had suggested that the Manchester City keeper had turned down the opportunity to spend a spell in Scandinavia.[LNB]Elfsborg sporting director Stefan Andreasson has made no secret of his desire to land a new keeper, with Schmeichel and former Fulham ace Antti Niemi believed to be in his thoughts.[LNB]However, Michael Johansen claims no contact has been made with the City man.[LNB]He does admit that a loan deal would be off the cards as Schmeichel is registered in the Blues' Uefa Cup squad, but claims the youngster remains keen to find a route out of Eastlands in an effort to find regular first team football.[LNB]Injuries"Andreasson claims Kasper isn't interested. I must reject that," Johansen told Bold.[LNB]"The situation is that Kasper can't join them on loan and they haven't held any discussions with Kasper Schmeichel.[LNB]"There must be some kind of miscommunication.[LNB]He added: "It can't be done. Manchester City have no interest in letting him go out on loan.[LNB]"They have registered him as one of their three goalkeepers for the Uefa Cup and if they get any injuries, they do not want to be left without a back-up goalkeeper."[LNB]
