Manchester City looking to complete signing for Fiorentina winger Alessio Cerci
It seems like Manchester City have not put all their eggs in one basket for a change. Despite it previously looking like the Manchester based team were focusing all their efforts on landing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 from Udinese, it now seems like the team had other
players in mind all along. The team is currently reported to be on the brink of completing a deal for Fiorentina winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessio-Cerci-c4748. If the speculations are anything to go by, then the player might be on his way to the club as early as next week.
The twenty three year old Italian joined Fiorentina at the start of the 2010 – 2011 season, but has since gone on to score seven goals in the twenty four league appearances that he has made for the team.
According to the sources, City began talks with the Tuscan outfit, over a move for the player this past Wednesday, but, due to the nature of the talks, the deal might be completed in the near future. At the moment, a fee of around six and a half million
pounds is being said to be the price that both the teams have agreed upon.
It seems like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini has targeted Cerci, for his versatility upfront. The forward can play as an all out winger, or a striker. Cerci went on to prove just how capable he is, as this past season, despite starting on a low, he sprang into action in
the latter part of the season as he secured a spot in the starting eleven at Fiorentina.
When we step back and analyze the situation, we can assume two things. Firstly, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 seems to be spending only on the right players this transfer window and secondly, it seems like he is going to be bringing in Cerci to provide some flair down the flanks.
At the moment, City possess http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Silva-c10601, both of whom are quite skilful down the flanks, however, they have no immediate back-up at the club. Hence, Cerci seems to be the man who is going to be doing that at the club.
Despite it seeming like City are on the brink of landing the player, there has not yet been any confirmation from either of the two clubs, or the player regarding this move.
However, according to most experts, City are going to officially make their interest in Cerci public, over the course of the coming week, only to conclude his capture soon after.
