City to make world-record bid for Bayern star

‘City to make world-record bid for Bayern hero’ – Manchester City are reportedly plotting a world record-breaking transfer move for German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Manuel Pellegrini feels his side can secure Neuer – seen as the best keeper in world football. Insiders say he will be offered a weekly wage of £105,000, which would make him the highest-paid stopper in football. City’s owners would have to part with a minimum of £40 million to secure the 6ft 4in Bayern Munich star.

Paper Round’s view: Pellegrini has just confirmed that Joe Hart will be in goal for the Champions League trip to Bayern Munich on Tuesday and it will be a huge night for the England keeper. Is this bid likely from City? Very likely. Would Neuer be interested in the move? Very unlikely. Why would he swap being a part of the all-conquering German giants under Pep Guardiola to move to England? No chance.
