It is understood the decision by football director Txiki Begiristain and manager Manuel Pellegrini to pursue Bony was taken just 10 days ago and has been driven less by injury concerns over marquee centre forward Sergio Aguero and more by a growing feeling that third-choice striker Stevan Jovetic may be sold this month.
With Bony in the ranks, City will have to lose one player from a Champions League roster restricted by UEFA to 21 as punishment for breaching FFP guidelines. That player may well be Jovetic, who is attracting offers the club may well find hard to resist in the current transfer window.
UEFA’s punishment for City’s FFP breach also restricted spending to £49m net over this transfer window and the last. However, with UEFA allowing City to take an agreed £25m fee from Valencia for striker Alvaro Negredo, payable this coming summer, into account, they are comfortably within that margin.
