Joey Barton's agent claims the Manchester City midfielder is
unfazed about speculation over his future.
Reports over the weekend suggested that Newcastle were lining up a
move for the midfield dynamo in the January transfer window.
Barton has been in outstanding form this season for City and is
currently their top scorer.
The 24-year-old has a release clause of £5.5 million in his
contract and several sides including Newcastle and West Ham were
reported to be willing to activate the clause to lure Barton away
from Eastlands.
However, the player's representative Willie McKay revealed there
has been no offers for Barton and that the player is only
concentrating on maintaining his fine form and breaking into the
England side.
"As far as I know there have been no offers for Joey," McKay told
skysports.com.
"Joey is content at Manchester City and I believe if he was to move
he would deserve to play for one of the Premiership's top four
sides in his current form.
"It is unfortunate he is banned for the next three matches and Joey
is only concentrating on getting back to playing and trying to win
a place in the England squad in February."
