Manchester City's Possible Ins and Outs

According to the Daily Express, City are competing against their fierce rivals, Manchester United to sign Barcelona's midfield maestro, Ivan Rakitic. Shifting the 26 year old Croatian playmaker to England will not be a cheap job though, as the Spanish giants have set a £20m price tag on Rakitic. Spanish newspapers have reported that the Croatian midfielder is unhappy at the club, as he constantly plays second best to the long serving Xavi.

Looking back to before Rakitic signed for the Catalan, it is obvious that United had interest in him, as they tried to sign him but unfortunately for United he chose Barcelona. Now would be a perfect time for the Red Devils to land this transfer, as Rakitic is unhappy at the club and United need more creativity in their midfield. It won't be that easy though, as Manchester City look for a replacement for midfielder Frank Lampard, who is heading off to the America to play for New York City FC, as his loan deal has expired.

Wilfried Bony has completed his £28m move to Man City

Now that the consistent goalscorer Wilfired Bony has completed his £28m pound move to City, it looks like a exit for Stevan Jovetic could be on the cards. Jovetic, who may of not had as much first team football as he would of liked, has been linked with a move to Italian giants Juventus. The Daily Express reports that Juventus that will make a bid of around £22m, but City will not pay any intrest in the offer for Jovetic, as they have no intrest in sellling the 25 year old. The Montenegrin forward has had frequent injuries this season, could return back to Serie A and partner Carlos Tevez in Juve's attack. I think that this would be a good move for Jovetic, as he is familiar with Italian football, and he will certainly get more playing time at Juve, then he will now at City, due to the arrival of Ivorian Wilfried Bony.
