Kevin De Bruyne has seen a move away from Manchester City mooted, especially if a European ban is upheld, but his agent insists no thought has been given to leaving the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City will learn on Monday the result of their appeal to Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after the club was issued a two-year ban on European club competitions for breaching the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rule in February.
And there have been suggestions that some of the star players in Pep Guardiola's team may depart the Etihad Stadium if they can not play in the Champions League.
He has told Sporza: "At the moment he is not at all busy with that".
'There will be many people who find this woolly, but he's not thinking about a transfer'.
Guardiola also revealed that Sergio Aguero will not recover in time from his knee injury to make it for the game against Real Madrid.
"This season, maybe it was my fault, or Phil (Foden) was more involved, Riyad (Mahrez) maintained his level and the others players were good too".
'If everything I read in the papers were correct, then I would need a 48-hour watch and to be all over the world at the same time. What I want is the best for him. There is nobody in Manchester City who knows Real Madrid as well as I do.
City has been unthroned by Liverpool in the Premier League this season as the Reds clinched their first top-flight title in 30 years with seven games remaining.
That has set up a semi-final against Arsenal at Wembley on July 18.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said he will sit down with John Stones at the end of the club's Premier League campaign and discuss the defender's future.
