He has also been linked with a move to CIty’s local rivals Manchester United in recent days.
And West Ham boss Pellegrini conceded the club would be open to selling their most prized asset if the deal suits all involved.
He said: “In that case, as always, it is just a matter of price.
“There are big teams who decide to pay an important amount of money. Sure, if it is a good deal for the club and the player and improves his career, then we can do it. But I don’t know nothing about that yet.”

Asked whether or not Rice’s impressive displays for England came as a shock, Pellegrini responded: “Surprised? No.
“I know Declan Rice, I have said before that he is a young player, just 20 years old, but his mind is of an adult player.
“He never feels pressure playing here or with the national squad. I was absolutely sure his level of performance would be exactly the same. He is a top, top player.
“He must continue doing exactly what he is doing now, to work in the same way, have the same mentality.
“He knows he must improve, that is why he is always listening and learning so as a player, in the way he plays more games with better games of course he will continue improving.”
