Inter Milan target Zabaleta not leaving Man City this January

Pablo Zabaleta has made it vehemently clear that he is not looking to leave Manchester City this month.

The Argentine right-back has been heavily linked with a winter move to Inter Milan but says he won't exit the Etihad Stadium in January.

However, Zabaleta has indicated that he will closely assess his options at the end of the current season, keeping the door ajar for reunion with Roberto Mancini at Inter.

"At the end of this season I will have one more year left on my contract. Normally the end of this season will be the time to decide what we will do," he said.

"As a player I think I still have two or three years left to play at the top level, but in football you never know – things change quickly.

"I am enjoying myself at this great club, and at the end of this season we will have a conversation with the club.

"It's January, and everything comes from the media about players coming in or going out but I am 100 per cent focussed on City at the moment.

"I want to finish the season here and am not thinking of going anywhere in January."
