Manchester City Chase Barcelona Star.


Manchester City are still being linked with a move for Barcelona youngster Giovani dos Santos, according to the player's father. The possible bid for the 17-year-old Mexican international emerged earlier this year, and his father Zizinho, a former Brazil international, says that it is still on.

"The news is certain, but the subject is in the hands of the agent," he said. "We will not decide, but Barca know the situation as we have had contact with their sporting director, Txiki Beguiristain." In March Zizinho said: "There is interest from Manchester City.

"However, I cannot give more information now as Giovani's agent is the one in charge of all this, it's him who is dealing with negotiations. "I can't say for sure if Giovani will go to another team. There are still games to play in La Liga and while there are, he's only thinking about Barcelona.
"We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, there is interest, but first he has to concentrate on Barcelona."
