Manchester city eyeing move for Shakhtar Donetsk's Samba star



The Brazilian is on a list of targets drawn up by boss Roberto Mancini. Midfielder 

Fernandinho has a contract with the Ukrainian club until 2016.But Shakhtar may be tempted

to cash in for an offer of around £20million.And that could be of interest to City, who are 

ready to spend big again in a bid to mount another serious title tilt and improve their 

Champions League showing.


There have been question marks over the long-term futures of Gareth Barry and Samir 

Nasri in recent weeks and Fernandinho’s versatility appeals to City. The 27-year-old has 

spent the last seven years with the Ukrainian outfit but City hope his style would make him

well suited to the pace of the Premier League.




A forward - such as Napoli’s Edinson Cavani or Atletico Madrid’s Radamel Falcao - is a 

priority for City with Mario Balotelli gone and Edin Dzeko possibly following him out. being

watched. And a move for Spurs superstar Gareth Bale is possible if the London club fail to 

reach the Champions League.
