City miss out on French defender swoop

City have missed out on the transfer of French youngster Steve Pinau.

I was searching through the websites of European football newspapers and found this on the Corriere Dello Sport site. Running it through FreeTranslation.com, the story seems pretty clear.

Basically, 'Genoa have just signed Steve Pinau from Monaco. The young defender (born 1988) has signed a five year deal with the rossoblu. He was also being pursued by Manchester City'.

I've since done some digging on Pinau: he was born on 11 March 1988, and came off the bench twice for Monaco last year. I can't really find anything else. But if he's gone to Genoa it doesn't really matter.
