Manchester City were last night putting the finishing touches to a £15million bid for Werder's Brazilian midfielder Diego.
Diego is reportedly unsettled at Werder and is very keen on a move to the up and coming outfit.
Werder's officials were refusing to comment last night but released a short statement saying "These rumours are completely false, we will not be selling Diego" although this was followed up with "But every player has his price, we shall see"
City are reportedly willing to offer the 23 year old playmaker wages of around £80,000 a week in a bid to find their replacement for Elano who is on his way to Lazio.
Diego has been quoted as saying "I would love to sign for a team in the Premier League, it is a tough league, probably the best in the world. Some of the worlds best players play there and id love to test myself against the best.
