Stuart Pearce has admitted that Manchester City midfielder
Claudio Reyna could be seeking a return to the United States due to
family concerns.
Reports at the weekend had suggested that the former Rangers and
Sunderland man had already flown to his homeland, with New York Red
Bulls linked with a move for the former international
captain.
Whilst Pearce insists reports of Reyna's departure are certainly
premature, the City boss has revealed that the Premiership club are
in talks with the player's representatives about a possible January
exit.
"For his personal reasons, we are in talks with him and his
representatives due to that he might want to go back to the
States," Pearce told the club's official website.
"That's purely a family scenario. Until anything is resolved on
that, he stays a Manchester City player.
"Players will only be allowed to leave if it is in the best
interests of the football club."
