According to The Athletic, the Saints offered the England international a four-year contract to make him the best-paid player in their history.

But Ings has turned it down it his quest to join a top Premier League side, and is willing to wait until next year to depart the south coast outfit.

The contract remains on the table for the former Liverpool man, with Southampton content for him to see out his deal.

Ings refused to rule out a move out in May with Manchester United and rivals City heavily linked.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is understood be keen on bolstering his attack, while the Citzens need a centre-forward to replace Sergio Aguero.

And Tottenham are also believed to be keeping tabs on the player should Harry Kane be sold this window.
