Barcelona midfielder brushes off Man City speculation

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has brushed off speculation linking him with Premier League champions Manchester City.

Manager Roberto Mancini is understood to be interested in the World Cup-winning Spaniard, as he bids to make his squad capable of challenging in Europe.

It was even suggested that Mancini would be ready to splash as much as £60m to land the 24-year-old, who has a £121m release clause in his current Barca contract.

But, speaking on Cope Radio, Busquets played down the suggestions and insisted he is happy at the Nou Camp.

"I do not know if City have spoken to my club or my representatives, I know as much as you," he said.

"I'm just living in the present and I am very happy.

"I would hope to continue at this club for many year but I like to live in the present and no one knows what will happen in the future."
