Manchester City target Aleksandar Kolarov is likely to remain at Italian Serie A club Lazio according to the manager of the Rome-based outfit Edy Reja.
Serbia international Kolarov has been heavily linked with a shift to City but Reja's comments suggest that a deal is highly unlikely.
"I don't consider Kolarov a former Lazio player," he told Corriere dello Sport.
"I have spoken to him and I told him that on July 20 he should consider himself among the players included in the list for pre-season training.
"If before that something happens in the transfer market, then things will change."
