striker David Villa.
The Mirror says City have finally offloaded maverick
striker Mario Balotelli - and set their sights on
David Villa to replace him.
Balotelli will undergo a medical at AC Milan on
Wednesday after City agreed to sell him for
£17million, with the fee potentially rising to £19.5m
depending on add-ons.
And City are set to make a last-ditch attempt to sign
Barcelona's £15m-rated forward Villa, after Arsenal
were forced to give up their pursuit of him.
Ex-Barca officials Ferran Soriano and Txiki
Begiristain, now City's chief executive and sporting
director respectively, could use their contacts at their
former club to help seal a deal.
Although Barca do not want to sell Villa, Eastlands
bosses are hoping an offer of £15m could tempt
them to part with the 31-year-old, who has a poor
injury record.
