But in the latest twist in the transfer saga, Allofs, who has previously insisted the former Chelsea player will not be sold, despite the ongoing rumours, said no deal has been reached.

"There's no agreement with Manchester City," he told reporters. "Right now, Kevin is a Wolfsburg player.

"If they do not meet our expectations, Kevin will remain a Wolfsburg player for this season.

"We are negotiating and we know that Kevin wants to join Manchester City."
