Manchester City are locked in a battle with arch rivals United over the signing of Palermo defender Simon Kjaer.
The defender is with Denmark at the World Cup and is not expected to make a move until his tournament is over.
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini said: "I have had requests for Kjaer from Manchester City and United, but there are still differences between what we want and what they are offering."
Kjaer is a central defender but can also play in midfield. Arsenal are also thought to be tracking him.
The muen is becoming an embarassment for city related news, all they seem to do these days is piggy back other media outlets. Have city completely fcuked them off from leaks inside info, exclusives etc? very poor now imo.
