Alleyne is playing the first senior league football of his career with the Hornets, having never previously left City since signing for them from Southampton aged 15.
The defender wants to use his campaign in WD18 to mature as a person and a footballer, which means no hand-holding from Pep Guardiola and other City management.
He said: "I think Watford and Man City speak to each other but I'm not really involved.
"I said to City when I came here that I want to be a Watford player. I want to go to every meeting, every training session, as a Watford player.

"The least involvement from them would be better for me. I just want to play for Watford and enjoy it for that."
Developing as a professional includes dealing with periods out of the team, like Alleyne suffered between October and December when Javi Gracia first returned to the club.
Alleyne admits starting just one of Gracia's first 10 matches was hard to take, but knows it's all part of being a senior player.
He said: "That was my first experience of being out of the team for so long.
"It was tough mentally, I don't think people talk about that enough, but I wasn't ever coming here expecting to play every minute.

"I took everything in of what the manager wanted in training and what I felt I could improve on as well.
"There are great players here, all the centre-backs are really good players. We're all better than each other at certain things, so it's just trying to find the right balance between us."
Alleyne's strengths certainly lie in his technical ability. Only Mattie Pollock has passed the ball progressively further of Watford's centre-backs this season, while Alleyne tops the charts for the distance dribbled.

The Championship is testing a different side of his game to youth football, though, where the ball is generally kept on the floor and matches are less physical.
He said: "Championship football is so different. I'm really enjoying it but it's tough.
"It's going to be really good for my development because there are so many things that I didn't get from PL2 (Premier League 2) that I'm exposed to now.
"I'm definitely heading the ball more than I used to. It's a lot more direct here, whereas maybe PL2 is more about playing around the box and creating opportunities that way.
"I've been exposed to a lot more defending from crosses, which I've made mistakes from this season, so it's just about learning from them.
"What the managers want is different and it's also much different playing in front of fans and the pressure that comes with that. That can impact playing out from the back as well.
"Getting used to having different plans from game to game, too - it's all stuff I'm learning."
