"He is a great player, but he belongs to Manchester City and we have talked by fax.[LNB]"In other words, it is much less than what has been said in the press."[LNB]Reports have also suggested that as part of a possible deal, City have asked for first option on Sociedad's highly-rated French youth international winger Antoine Griezmann.
