Swansea remain firm over sale of Bony

According to boss Garry Monk, Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony is "not for sale." Despite being linked with a move away from the Liberty Stadium, Monk said there has been no offers for the Ivory Coast striker, despite reported interest from Liverpool.

"We've had no contact from anyone at all," said Monk.

Monk said the only way Bony will leave the Liberty Stadium is for a big transfer fee.

"At the end of the day he's [Bony] not for sale, unless someone comes in with an astronomical offer," said Monk.

"Unless they want to pay an astronomical fee he's going nowhere."

Despite the speculation Monk insists Bony is happy at the club.

"It would be silly for any player to say 'I only want to stay at this club'," said Monk.

"Because if a bigger or better so-called club comes along and it's a higher level of football, then every player's going to do it.

"But having spoken to him [Bony], he knows he's a Swansea City player. He knows that nothing's happened so far.

"All he wants to do is to concentration what we are doing with Swansea City. That's why he's travelled with the squad. If he was thinking about going he wouldn't be here."
