Sunday rumour round up

• Yet another Roberto Mancini rumour. This time in the Daily Star Sunday, which says that 'sources in Italy' claim that a £16million move for Napoli's Ezequiel Lavezzi is being driven by Mancini, who will be in charge at City next season. I don't know what 'sources in Italy' means, or how reliable they are, but with only three games left we should find out about ADUG's long term intentions within the month.

• Also in the Daily Star Sunday is the story that Bayern Munich have set a £50million asking price for Franck Ribéry. This puts us in a strong position, given that his main suitor, Barcelona, may not be willing to pay that much for him. But I don't imagine we'll go for Ribéry unless we sell Robinho, which is looking less likely after his recent goal spurt.

• A more likely transfer is Yaya Touré. The News of the World says that we are 'closing in on' a £25million deal for the Barcelona midfielder. He's a long standing target, we bid in January and he's high up the list for the summer. Touré's a good player, but with the signing of Nigel de Jong he could only really operate if Vincent Kompany was moved back into defence.

• The NotW has something on a City clear out in the summer. The biggest name it suggests is Micah Richards, whom Aston Villa may be interested in. Nicolas Anelka and Carlos Tévez are mentioned as potential transfers in, both of whom are quite plausible targets. 'Hughes sees a front line trio of Tevez, Anelka and Robinho as the perfect blend of industry and flair', apparently.

• Finally, the People brings up John Terry again as a potential target. It suggests a bid of £20million and £200,000 in wages. As much as I've heard this mentioned, I still can't quite get my head around the idea that John Terry would walk out of Stamford Bridge just for money. Could Mr. Chelsea really become Mr. City? Diego, Samuel Eto'o and Ribéry are also mentioned.
