Well done Fernandinho lad, trying to force the price down. :)

Come get me, Mancini! Fernandinho admits he'd love to join City to boost World Cup bid

Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fernandinho has declared that he wants to move to Manchester City this summer, despite interest from a raft of other top European sides – and he has pleaded with his club to lower his asking price to facilitate the switch.

The Brazilian international is coveted by Roberto Mancini, but the City manager was dismayed when the Ukrainian champions’ manager, Mircea Lucescu, last week said that the club would have to match their prize asset’s release fee clause of £42.5 million.
Now Fernandinho, who turned 28 on Saturday and has played five times for his country, believes after eight years in Donetsk and with a World Cup on home soil looming a transfer to Mancini’s club is vital this summer.

Even his international teammates have begged him to head to City. 'They all wish me to move on,' Fernandinho said.
'They know that the Premier League is a great championship and that Manchester City is a great club, therefore they all wish me to play there, and to participate in the division.
'I believe my chances of making the World Cup squad will improve if I join City. My exposure would be better, because Brazil is biased towards the Ukrainian league. What we do here is not recognised in my country.

'Therefore, playing in a division, at a club that is considered among the best in the world, and if I keep performing well, that would help me to be to be taken back to the Brazilian national team.'

Fernandinho wants his club to seek a transfer fee closer to Mancini’s target of £17 million and added: 'There are a lot of people in England with good football knowledge. For that reason, those compliment my skills and motivate me to want to play in a championship like the Premier League.'

Well I am very excited about potentially signing Fernandinho now, looks like it could be a definite goer if anything, especially as he has quoted the club etc...
 
Looks like this will be a forced move by a player... poor move from the Shakhtar coach dictating price publicly.

Fernandinho is now 90% certain to leave this Summer and come to us.

This is one target we don't have to worry fighting other clubs away for, with him clearly stating he wants out to go to City.... good lad!

Cheers for posting that, looks very promising.

"Please come to City."
 
I like that article but something tells me that they'll be another one very soon with it claiming he's been misquoted! Sorry, it's just me worrying and thinking nothing is ever as simple as a player wanting to move and then us signing him without there being any problems.

Looks like the fee will be the only obstacle in him joining.

Shakhtar have really gotta give up on trying to retain this man. He is a goner and this tweet just exemplifies it!

He is gonna be ACE with us next season!<br /><br />-- Sun May 05, 2013 10:48 pm --<br /><br />

He has retweeted a message "please come to City" on his official Twitter page... it doesn't get more point blank clear than that.

Think this will be sorted sooner than we think as this man wants IN on City.
 
When asked whether now is the right time to move to England, Fernandinho said: “Yes. There are a lot of people in England with good football knowledge.

“I believe my chances of making the World Cup squad will improve if I join City. My exposure would be better, because Brazil is biased towards the Ukrainian league. What we do here is not recognised in my country.”

If posted sorry just sharing ^_^
 
Looks like we will end up meeting half way and pay 30m or thereabouts give oe take a few mill (leas or more).

When a player comes out and states he wants to move its always hard. Shaktar have had 8 years out the lad, they should let him move to better his career so he can play in one of the best leagues and for his country.

He will look good in blue :)

Agree, but when a player is forcing a move, especially one who has given 8 years of being top class for the club, yes it is hard but I cannot see £30M happening... cos the player wants it and he is loved at the club, given his all and should be given the respect and support to move on, I see it being around the £22-24M mark.
