Wonder if we will have this deal sorted and announced any time soon? I hope we do as Balotelli looks like he will be a top class striker in a few years

In demand: Racing's Sergio Canales
Manchester City are making a huge effort to snatch Spanish starlet Sergio Canales from Racing Santander, despite strong competition from Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Madrid expect to sign the 18-year-old from Racing Santander but are so afraid to City's approach that they are rushing Canales to make up his mind.
City sent technical director Mike Rigg and chief financial officer Graham Wallace for talks in Santander on Thursday with Racing president Francisco Pernia and his father Gelo Canales.
Gelo, who acts as his son's agent, has already visited City, as well as holding talks in England with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.
City and Chelsea followed up their interest with formal offers that are understood to be financially more attractive than what has been put on the table by Real Madrid, but the Spanish giants believe they are still favourites to land the revelation of the season.
Canales is out of contract in the summer but is said to have verbally agreed to re-sign for Racing before being sold on for a lucrative fee.
