Manchester City face being snubbed by Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marco Reus.
The People says Reus will snub a move to Manchester City next summer after opting to stay put in Germany.
City chief Manuel Pellegrini was preparing a mind-boggling offer for the German winger who has refused to sign a new contract with Borussia Dortmund.
Reus has a £20million get-out clause in his deal that Bayern Munich are prepared to meet.
And the Germany star, 25, is set to disappoint a host of suitors from top European clubs by staying in his homeland.
