We are not overly worried,' Joorabchian told BBC Sport.[LNB]'He wants to leave but is still a City player at the moment and we will of course respect that. We've just got to wait and see who comes in next for him.'[LNB]City and Joorabchian have differing opinions on why the transfer to Corinthians did not go through, with the former claiming an inability to provide a bank guarantee for the vast sum of money was at the centre of problems.[LNB] But it is understood City have proof of four such requests and also an agreement as the Brazilian side had wanted it.[LNB] Off colour: Tevez has been in action for Argentina who were knocked out of the Copa America[LNB]Joorabchian, though, has denied such suggestions.[LNB]'This deal was always going to be difficult because of the timing,' he added.'In the end, this came down to small details, to haggling over a relatively small amount of money, and it couldn't be done in time.[LNB]'To say Corinthians could not provide guarantees for the money is nonsense.[LNB]'Firstly, they are the biggest club in Brazil.
