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.
