Manchester City face a wait over Santos starlets Neymar and Paulo Henrique Ganso.
City have first refusal on the midfield pair courtesy of their agreement to send Robinho on-loan to Santos earlier this season.
Santos president Luis Alvaro de Oliveira Ribeiro said: "I want them (Robinho, Neymar and Ganso) to continue wearing the shirt of Santos.
"Robinho is guaranteed until at least August 4. The others will stay till the end of next year. Of course, that doesn't depend only on me."
