Mi on Man City radar

Rio de Janeiro, Nov 1: Manchester City are reportedly considering a move to sign Colombian defender Yerry Mi in the next European football transfer window.

Mi has impressed the English Premier League (EPL) club’s scouts with his form for Brazilian Serie A leaders Palmeiras and the Colombia tiol team, reports Xinhua.

According to the Sambafoot news portal, the 22-year-old has three years to run on his Palmeiras contract and a 30 million euro ($32.9 million) release clause.

The report said that Spanish giants Barcelo have the first preference in any deal for the center-back. The EPL’s winter transfer window runs from January 1 to February 1. Mi, who joined Palmeiras from Independiente Santa Fe in May, has been capped four times since making his intertiol debut at the Copa America in June. IANS
