Bianchi all set for City
Rolando Bianchi has moved a step closer to joining Manchester City, Reggina chief Pasquale Foti has confirmed.
The minnows have accepted an £8.8m fee from the Premiership outfit and the switch is gathering pace.
“The negotiations are moving forward and there is a good chance of striking a deal,” said the Amaranto President. “I think we should be able to finalise an agreement soon.”
City moved into pole position for the attacker after Juventus pulled out of the race to net him when David Trezeguet signed a new contract, while a transfer to Napoli collapsed.
It was understood that Bianchi would prefer to remain in the peninsula which did lead to doubts over a Manchester switch, but Foti insists that is rubbish.
“That is not true and so far there have been no problems at all,” he added. “And although the forward is in 'ritiro’ with the rest of the team, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t discussing his transfer…”
The ex-Atalanta striker was a key man for the southern minnows last season as his 18 goals fired the club to an unlikely survival given their Calciopoli penalty.
Spanish outfit Atletico Madrid were also being touted as a possible destination but no bid has been tabled by the Liga outfit so far.

Reggina ace Rolando Bianchi has declared that he is ready to join Manchester City. “Boss Sven Goran Eriksson has convinced me,” he said.
Amaranto chief Lillo Foti confirmed this morning that negotiations with the Premiership club are moving forward and that he was confident a deal would soon be concluded.
“Eriksson called and told me to come as Manchester City have 50,000 season ticket holders and want to compete in Europe,” said Bianchi, who is already in England.
“When he said the word Europe I was very excited,” continued the 24-year-old. “I saw that I had no alternatives in Italy and I seized the opportunity.”
Manchester United’s great rivals will pay almost £9m for the talented marksman, who will complete a medical ahead of signing his contract over the next 24 hours.
“I hope I will one day return to Italy and have the chance of playing for a great club, but for now I have started this new adventure and I want to love it fully, giving my best,” concluded Bianchi.
