PABLO ZABALETA has played down speculation he could quit Manchester City for Juventus.

The Italian giants are believed to be interested in signing Zabaleta in the New Year, but the Argentine international insists he is focused on becoming a regular for City.

"The beginning of the season was so different for me. I was on the bench for four or five games. But everyone wants to play in the first XI,” he told the official club site.

“We have a good squad with many quality players. We all have to fight for our place, but I am enjoying it. I'm trying to play my best football and I have no problem playing right back or midfield.”
