DAVID VILLA’S record £52million switch to Manchester City will move a step closer when his agent jets into England this week.
The Valencia striker will be City’s first world-class signing in January when the transfer window opens.
City boss Mark Hughes has targeted the Spanish hit-man and the deal has been rubber-stamped by City’s Arab owners.
They are determined to make an impact signing in the transfer window and will take advantage of Valencia’s perilous financial position.
The Spanish side have been hit badly by the global economic crisis and admitted they will be forced to cash in on their major asset in the New Year.
Real Madrid believed they were in pole position but signed £17m Ajax star Klass-Jan Huntelaar in midweek — and City surged ahead when they made it clear they would instantly match Valencia’s asking price.
52 Millionen Pfund für Villa. Manchester City spinnt doch! 🙂
