10 Potential Transfers That Will Affect Title Race
3. Dante To Manchester City
Name: Dante Bonfim Costa Santos Club: Bayern Munich Age: 30 This season Manchester City have been fantastic, with only a slow start under Manuel Pellegrini keeping them from the top of the pile. The main problem has been lack of options at the heart of defence but Dante can fix this. City legend Shaun Goater has said 'sign Dante and you can win the lot'. While a quadruple may be pushing it, with the experienced Brazilian alongside Vincent Kompany in their defence they will be on course for their first title since that dramatic Sergio Aguero goal. The story is being picked up by the Independent, who state the club is ready to go head to head with their City rivals for the Brazilian defender. The Brazilian defender is said to be happy at Bayern Munich but the right price could turn the German sides head, while any player would relish the chance of playing in the Premier League. Dante would fit into the side perfectly and could prove to be the final piece of the jigsaw. Whether Man City can prize Dante away from the European Champions is a different story. However, they have the financial capacity and with both Manchester clubs after the same man it's definitely a story to keep your eye on.
