Manchester City manager Mark Hughes is refusing to rule out bidding for Didier Drogba after being linked with Chelsea's Ivory Coast international.
With reports indicating Robinho may be mulling over his future it has been suggested City could strike a deal with Chelsea that sees out-of-sorts Drogba move in the opposite direction.
It had been thought Chelsea, who narrowly missed out in Robinho's signature from Real Madrid, could make a fresh move for the striker allowing him to link up with Luiz Felipe Scolari in the process.
However, Hughes has categorically stated Robinho, who left the club's training camp in Tenerife without permission earlier this week, will not be leaving the club anytime soon.
"That's not up for debate," he told Sky Sports News on Robinho's future.
"There's always speculation about our players and players that we don't have. So we're quite used to that at the moment.
"Basically there are stories about every player and every top club in the world at the moment and we're allegedly linked with everybody," he commented on being linked with Drogba.
"Until we actually make bids for players then I really can't discuss other players.
"It's a situation we're trying to keep a lid on but there's so much speculation I shouldn't have to add to it."
