Raheem Sterling has no interest in leaving Manchester City as a makeweight.
He has entered the final two years of his deal with the Premier League champions with City eager to clarify his long-term plans.
The Daily Mail says Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona both have long-standing interests in Sterling – but there is doubt over their financial situations.
Another potential option would be for City to use Sterling as a potential makeweight in any future transfer incomings.
Indeed, the possibility of City using Sterling in an effort to land Harry Kane from Tottenham has been reported.
But Sportsmail understands Sterling would likely reject any attempts by City to use him as a part-exchange element in any future deal.
