Adam Johnson is set to stay with Manchester City.
Sunderland have failed with a move for the winger.
The People says Black Cats manager Steve Bruce is still hoping to bring Craig Bellamy to the Stadium of Light from the Etihad Stadium.
So too were Aston Villa, Everton and Wolves but City have told them all the England winger is staying with them.
But City are prepared to listen to offers for another England winger - Shaun Wright-Phillips.
