Barcelona defender Michael Reiziger has dismissed speculation linking him with a move to Manchester City and insists he is happy at the Nou Camp.

Negotiations were said to be taking place yesterday between the player and City following the friendly clash with Barcelona.

The Dutchman had been close to a loan move to Kevin Keegan's side last January but the deal collapsed as Reiziger would only agree to a permanent switch.

But the 30-year-old has denied there is any truth behind reports linking him with a move now.

He said: "There is nothing in the stories I have seen in the newspapers. I have read the articles and they have surprised me because I want to continue at Barcelona.

"I am very happy at Barca and I believe that this season we are going to win a title after three years when we have won nothing. I hope that we have luck and we can bring joy to the fans."
