NYCFC head coach Patrick Vieira reportedly wants to bring his former Manchester City Elite Development Squad player Albert Rusnak to the Bronx, but Real Salt Lake have zero interest in trading their star midfielder.

ESPN reported Thursday that Vieira “is attempting to sign” the 23-year-old Designated Player, who joined RSL from Dutch club Gronigen last January and recorded seven goals and 14 assists in 30 appearances in his first season in MLS.

A source close to RSL told MLSsoccer.com shortly after ESPN’s report was published Thursday that the club hasn’t been approached by NYCFC for Rusnak and that they have no intention of trading the Slovakian international.

Told that RSL have received no trade offer for Rusnak, have zero intention of trading him. Not doubting Vieira wants him (who wouldn't?), but unless there are some insane developments, this ain't going down. https://t.co/tby8pzIfT2 — Sam Stejskal (@samstejskal) February 22, 2018

Rusnak played under Vieira for Manchester City’s Elite Development Squad, the club’s reserve team, in 2013. RSL will open the season on March 3 at FC Dallas (8 pm ET; MLS LIVE).
