Martin Skrtel downplays Manchester City speculation

Liverpool's Martin Skrtel has downplayed reports linking him with a move to Manchester City.

The Slovakia international has yet to pledge his long-term future to Anfield, but insists that there have be no firm offers from elsewhere.

"In the press there have been rumours about my future," he said. "I would like to say that so far I have not received any specific offers and I have not been in talks with any club."

City boss Roberto Mancini is keen to bolster his defence over the summer, with Skrtel and Newcastle United's Fabricio Coloccini named as potential targets.
