Negotiations between City and Monaco are thought to have been on-going for a while, however, unless City stump up a mega-amount the 22-year-old may have his transfer request rejected.
Current figures suggest a deal in the region of ?40million (£35million) and ?45million (£39.5million) might not be enough to tempt Monaco into selling one of their prize assets.
