Manchester City have dismissed claims that contract talks with captain Richard Dunne have stalled.

Reports claimed that Dunne was far from happy at the club after talks over an extension had faltered.

However, City stressed that there is no such problem with Dunne and that talks are continuing.

"A meeting took place yesterday [Tuesday] between myself and Richard's representatives," said Blues chief executive Alistair Mackintosh.

"Richard has made it clear that he is very happy at Manchester City, and we are very happy with him. The talks we are having are very constructive.

"Both Richard and the club will not be unsettled by an inaccurate newspaper story. He is committed to the club and we are committed to him."
