Manchester City have gone cold on a move for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.
The Daily Star says even cash-rich City have walked away from a deal for Pogba, 23, who is now valued at a world record £115m and wants a weekly wage of £325,000.
The Frenchman, however, remains a target for Manchester United and Chelsea.
City, meanwhile, want Real Madrid's Toni Kroos to link up with Ilkay Gundogan, 25, who is set to arrive from Borussia Dortmund for £18million.
Pep Guardiola worked with Kroos, 26, when he arrived at Bayern Munich three years ago.
But he was powerless to prevent the player's move to Madrid a year later.
