Bernardo Silva is not up for sale, and Manchester City do not anticipate any interest from other teams.
This comes despite the attention from Barcelona and, according to reports, Paris Saint-Germain.
The 28-year-old is reportedly the subject of a £60m offer from PSG, according to a report on Thursday.
However, any proposal would need to be far more robust to get City to take it seriously.
As of now, neither Silva nor his agents have informed the club that he wants to leave the Etihad this summer.

With less than two weeks left in the transfer window, City would also need to sign a replacement.
In both of Pep Guardiola’s league victories thus far this season, the Portugal international has had to come from the bench.

What Did Guardiola Have To Say About Bernardo?
Guardiola stated earlier this summer that he wants Silva to stay but would not stand in his way if the player had other plans.
“What happens will happen,” Pep said. “And, if he stays, it is perfect.
“In the end, if he has to leave, it is because football is like this; the player has a desire. I will not be a person to stop someone’s desire.

“When you are a player, it is so short; you don’t realise and it’s nearly over.
“The player will have to talk to the club and I have never ever been involved in that.”
