Phil Foden is being urged to stick with Manchester City.
Foden feels a loan move away from the reigning Premier League champions would hinder his progress, despite his limited playing time.
The family and friends of the 19-year-old are reported to be keen for the England youngster to continue his role at the Etihad under Pep Guardiola, in which he receives game time primarily in cup competitions.
The Times says there is a feeling within Foden's close circle that leaving City on loan could actually prove damaging to the teenager's progression.
And City have no intention of sending Foden out to another Premier League club on loan.
