Reported Man City target Giovani Dos Santos admits he wants to stay at Barcelona "for many more years".
The Mexican youngster has already progressed into the Catalan giants' first-team squad and has even delayed an ankle operation in order to play his part between now and the end of the season.
Giovani said: "I cannot avoid rumours about me going to the Premier League or to any other place.
"I just live in the present. I am here now and what I would like most is to be here next season and for many more years after that if it is possible. It has never entered my head to leave Barcelona."
Eastlands chief Sven Goran Eriksson must now turn his attention elsewhere as he bids to strengthen City's squad in the summer.
