But The Telegraph, as well as reports in Spain, claim Manchester City's all-time leading goalscorer is now set to hang up his boots, bringing a stunning career which has included five Premier League titles to a close.
Spanish journalist Gerard Romero also claims a press conference has been scheduled to announce his retirement next week, though Barcelona have yet to make a formal announcement.
There have been conflicting statements since the shock reports in Spain first broke however.
Ex-City star Samir Nasri told Canal Plus in France that his former team-mate 'sent me a message and unfortunately he has confirmed [that he is retiring].'
