Manchester City have reportedly distanced themselves from a transfer for Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka this summer or in future windows.
A story from MailOnline published on Tuesday morning reported that Pep Guardiola's side were set to up the ante in their pursuit of Saka, although were unlikely to make an approach this summer. Liverpool have also been linked with a move for Arsenal's star man, leading the Gunners to accelerate plans to tie him down to a new contract.
Those initial talks were held at the end of last season and are set to intensify throughout the summer, with Mikel Arteta and co worried what could happen once he enters the final two years of the deal. They are eager for his new deal to reflect his prominence in the starting XI and offer him a new wage that fits that billing.
