Bayern Munich wing-back David Alaba has resisted an attempt from Manchester City.
Alaba has spoken in recent days that his cycle with Bayern could be over.
This has alerted Europe's biggest clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and City.
Indeed, BILD says City have already been in contact with Alaba's minders about an offer for next season.
However, the Austria international, 27, has rejected the enquiry as he favours a move to Spain ahead of the summer market.
