Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes is aware of Manchester City's interest.
The Brazil international remains keen on moving to a bigger club in the future. However, he is proud of his idol status at Newcastle.
“I believe that at my club I am an idol and I have a lot of respect,” the midfielder said while on Brazil duty.
“I am the captain of Newcastle and it is something that if you had asked me three years ago, my biggest dream would have been to play in the Premier League.
"Playing, being an idol, being captain is something wonderful. I really like Newcastle."
Guimaraes spoke about City links: “Of course, having Manchester City’s suggestions shows that I am at a high level, but it was nothing more than suggestions.
“I know that (Pep) Guardiola likes my football, it is normal to have great coaches who admire your football. We have spoken once after the interview, I praised his work, he praised my work, but it was nothing more than that.”
