Man City Transfer News: Citizens To Bid £28 Million For Alvaro Negredo
Daily Express, Manchester City are set to raid Spanish side Sevilla for a second time with a £28 million bid for striker Alvaro Negredo. The Citizens secured their first signing of the summer when they bought Sevillas Jesus Navas for a fee of £15 million and now look set to bid for 27-year-old, Negredo. Sevilla club president, Jose Maria, told the media that the star wants to leave the club and dreams of Champions League glory:
"He has said he wants to develop and that he wants to play in the Champions League. One of the teams is Atletico Madrid and the other is outside of Spain. Sevilla will choose the best offer."Rumours are suggesting that the striker has a buy-out clause of £18 million but Manchester City are already preparing a bid of £28 million which will likely see off interest from Atletico Madrid who are still searching for a replacement for Radamel Falcao. Negredo has been in sensational form for Sevilla scoring 25 goals in La Liga last season, form which has attracted interested from across Europe. Manchester City are now searching for a striker after the departure of Carlos Tevez to Juventus and with Negredo looking a cheaper alternative to Napolis Edinson Cavani it seems new City boss, Manuel Pellegrini, wants to continue to raid La Liga despite failing to sign his former player Isco. Premier League side West Ham were also in the running for the Negredo having had a £14.5 million bid rejected last month.
