Former Barca wonder kid Gai Assulin (19, Israeli) is with City this week. Partly for playing trials and partly for medical tests as he had a knee ligament injury 2 years ago. He's quit Barca because, although fit, he wasn't getting into the first team squad.

Didn't turn up for a Blackburn trial a few weeks ago because they're shite, but is in Manchester this week with his French agent to meet City.

Lots of sources in Spain taken up by the People yesterday.

Inter Have Plenty Of Talent Aside From Mario Balotelli - Massimo Moratti
Moratti resigned to losing SuperMario...

Inter president Massimo Moratti has given the strongest indication yet that Mario Balotelli will join Manchester City at some point this week once the clubs agree on a fee.

The Nerazzurri, City and Mino Raiola, Balotelli's agent, are all working to bring the long-running saga to a fruitful conclusion as trading continues.

And Moratti has resigned himself to losing the Italian striker, but says his team would cope with the eventual loss.

"Inter have many talented and important players aside from Mario Balotelli," he told Sky Sport Italia.

However, when asked to spell out when the axe would fall on a deal the chief remain silent.

The latest reports claim City are locked in a tug of war with the European champions over the transfer fee.

They are reportedly offering €26 million plus a series of bonuses, but Inter are expecting €30m plus extras.

However, all parties want a deal to be concluded soon, and thus they could meet in between offer and demand when push comes to shove.

Sky Sport Italia claims a conclusion is expected by Wednesday, with the striker signing a five-year deal worth €3.5m per annum.

nost papers seem to be of the opinion that it is super mario OR Dzeko, rather than both

Give him away, save money on wages. We have not paid 18 million for him anyway. No doubt at all it was a small up front fee with huge add ons on appearances, our success, brazil caps, goals etc etc

[Beefymcfc]

What's this I hear that we have offered more than Real for Maicon and that's why they've dropped out of the running?

Please no more fuckin Brazilians they just dont cut in the prem.

[john@staustell]

Maicon is getting on a bit I understand, whcih means neither club (City or Real) will pay what his club wants (32M?). That's why he's still there.

[avoidconfusion]

Maicon would be a bad buy (imho) for that amount of money... 29 already....
