Jesús Navas was one of the stars of the Sevilla-Valencia game, just as rumours surrounding his potential departure from the club continue to gather pace after he was given the bumps by his teammates at the final whistle.

Once in the press area, Navas did not avoid questions about his departure: "I like Manchester City a lot and it has great players."

"I think that today is Palop's day and it is his day to shine. The team and the fans deserve it all. I'm open to anything. I want to win more and reach my goals.

Manchester City has done all it can to bring me in and I have to be grateful for that. I want to go on and win trophies," said Navas. He could hardly have been any clearer.
