Manchester City invited youngster Konstantinos Karetsas to have a trial with their academy.

However, the 16-year-old appears to have turned down that opportunity with the Premier League champions.

His father Vaios appears to suggest that City made contact, but the Belgian is happy at Genk for now.

RB Leipzig, Milan and even Manchester City invited us several times to come and have a look. We didn't like it," Vaios said.

The only team outside Genk where we had discussions was Ajax. Purely because it is close by and we have a lot of respect for that club.

That was just one conversation. The second would be about sporting and financial matters, but we had already given our word to Genk at that time."
