City are also closing in on Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo, 27, after new boss Manuel Pellegrini admitted he was looking to reinforce his forward line.
Full story: Daily Express
What’s the story? This is more like it. City need a striker and Negredo is a good quality goal scorer who wants to play in the Champions League. Bingo.Does it make sense? Facetiousness aside, it really does. Negredo is a pure finisher, which is what City need. Last season they struggled to score goals consistently and it cost them the title. Plus, they’re down to two senior strikers now.Is the price right? Should be about £15-18m in the end. Good solid price.Will it happen? 9/10 – City have missed out on other striker targets and don’t seem to be buying a ticket for the Benteke sweepstake.
