Telegraph: City favourites for di María

That's the clear message of today's article by Jason Burt and Jeremy Wilson. They report that Chelsea have refused to pay the £36million asking price for Ángel di María, leaving us his most likely destination:

It is understood that Manchester City are keen to complete a deal next summer, when it is likely that they will move on Robinho, probably to Barcelona, but Di María's club, Benfica, are hoping to complete the transfer in January.

They have approached Atlético Madrid in a bid to sign Portuguese international Simao Sabrosa and want to try to push that deal through as soon as possible and before a lower buy-out clause in Di María's contract kicks in at the end of this season.

Interesting stuff. For why I don't think we will sign di María, as much as I would like us to, read here.
