Manchester City will reportedly not allow Adam Johnson to leave the club on loan this summer.
Recent speculation has linked the 24-year-old with a temporary switch away from the Etihad Stadium in order to gain regular starting action.
Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill in particular had been credited with a strong interest in the winger.
However, City have no intention of letting a player go that they view as an important member of their squad, according to Sky Sports News.
Johnson joined the Citizens in January 2010 from Middlesbrough.
