Man City to tie up deals in 10 days

Man City boss Roberto Mancini hopes to have finished his transfers for new players within the next ten days, so that he can focus on pre-season preparations.

City have been linked with several players this summer but are believed to be some way from completion.

Mancini revealed: “It is important for us to have signed all the new players in the next 10 days if we are to be successful.

“Last year we had four or five important players injured in February and March and our results suffered. This year that cannot happen.”
