Agent denies Man City contact for Catania striker Martinez

The agent of Catania striker Jorge Martinez has played down interest from Manchester City.

The 25-year-old, whose Catania contract expires in 2011, joined the club in 2007 and has caught the eye this season with eight goals in 14 games for the Serie A strugglers.

But his agent, Daniel Delgado, insists they do not want to entertain any transfer talk until the end of the season as Martinez is concentrating on keeping Catania in Italy's top flight.

"I don't know anything about Manchester City," Delgado told itasportpress.it.

"We have received many proposals but right now we are not talking about anything because Martinez is playing for survival with Catania and it is not right to talk about the transfer market.

"The survival of the club depends on Jorge - if he is fit then Catania could be saved with games to spare.

"Then, if there will be serious proposals in the summer we'll evaluate the most advantageous one for the boy and for Catania."
