Speculation continues to surround the future of Wilfried Bony.

Despite a report from the Telegraph that suggested Manchester City have made inquiries regarding the Ivorian forward, Swansea City owner Huw Jenkins insisted Wednesday that he's yet to receive a formal offer for Bony - while also refusing to rule out the possibility of selling the 26-year-old in the upcoming winter transfer window.

"As things stand we have not had any contact from anyone with respect to Wilfried," Jenkins said, according to the Guardian's Stuart James.

When asked specifically about whether he would consider selling Bony, Jenkins replied: "First and foremost I will consider everything that arises at the time but as of yet we haven't got anything to consider. 

"Players move around - that's a fact of life. The one thing I've learned over time is never say never in football but officially at the moment we haven't had any contact from Manchester City or anyone else about Wilfried."

Bony, who has notched eight goals and two assists in 19 Premier League appearances this season, would cost City somewhere in the range of £50 million in transfer fee and wages. There was initially a £19-million release clause in Bony's contract, but that was removed when he signed a new deal in November.
