Liverpool and Swansea City are on red alert after Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini hinted that Scott Sinclair's future could lie away from the Etihad Stadium.
The 24-year-old winger has started just three games for City since his £6.2million move from Swansea last August.
Sinclair has been linked with a return to the Welsh club while Liverpool is also interested in his services.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers worked with Sinclair during his time in charge of Swansea.
Mancini said: "This situation with Sinclair is difficult because I didn't give him a lot of chances to play. He is very unlucky.
"It is my fault, not his fault. A young player like Scott who is a good player deserves to play always.
"For him, it was a really difficult year this year."
Mancini added: "Scott is young and he has good quality but this year was difficult for him.
"I think it is better if he can have another solution.
"If he stays here, maybe, everything can change but I can understand his frustration in this moment because he didn't play a lot of games.
"I can understand when one player can't play often it is difficult."
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup said: "He [Sinclair] has quality and he has already shown it. We will see what decisions we make on that for the future.
"Good players in his position are always an option and he has a British passport which is another thing we have to look at in an overall perspective."
