The City star could still leave the club this summer.
A Manchester City star has posted a cryptic message on social media amid rumours he could leave the club this summer.
Man City are looking to win the Premier League for a fifth successive year, but the reigning champions have had a fairly quiet summer.
Brazilian winger Savinho was brought in from City Football Group side Troyes in a deal worth £30.8 million, while Julian Alvarez completed a £64.4m move to Atletico Madrid.
Pep Guardiola looks set to be reunited with Ilkay Gundogan just a year after the German midfielder left City, with Barcelona allowing him to leave for free.

While there were rumblings earlier this summer about potential exits for Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson and Kyle Walker, all three are set to stay at the Etihad Stadium this season.
One star player who appears to have no future at the club though is Joao Cancelo.
The Portuguese full-back was one of City’s key players, but a falling out with Pep Guardiola in January 2023 saw him join Bayern Munich on loan for the remainder of the season.
Bayern turned down the chance to sign Cancelo on a permanent basis or on another loan deal, with Barcelona taking him on loan for the 2023-24 campaign.

With Barcelona opting not to pursue a move for Cancelo, the 30-year-old returned to City this summer for pre-season.
Last week Guardiola admitted that the star – who is taking part in training but wasn’t included in the match day squad for City’s 2-0 win against Chelsea on Sunday – could still have a future at the club.
“We will see. Maybe he will stay, maybe he will go on loan. I don’t know yet,” Guardiola said.
On Tuesday Cancelo took to Instagram to share a cryptic message amid rumours he could leave the club for Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.
The Portuguese star captioned a photo from his summer vacation with: “I’m the only one that knows who I am. #mommyblessme.”
Should Cancelo stay in Manchester then he will compete for minutes with Kyle Walker and Rico Lewis at right-back and Josko Gvardiol and Nathan Ake at left-back.
