Former Arsenal and Barcelona defender Sylvinho is weighing up a move to Manchester City, skysports.com understands.

Sylvinho is a free agent following the expiration of his contract at Barcelona at the end of last season.

City boss Mark Hughes is keen to bring in the experienced defender to provide cover and competition for Wayne Bridge.

Sylvinho spent two years in England with Arsenal before making the move to Spain with Celta Vigo and then Barcelona.

The player's representative Hans Lamberz has confirmed there has been contact from City and the Brazilian is weighing up his options.

"There was contact with Manchester City a while ago and that has been renewed recently," Lamberz told skysports.com.

"Sylvinho is a free agent and he is in no rush to sign anywhere as he can join a club outside the transfer window.

"Manchester City is obviously an interesting option with the talent there and Mark Hughes as manager.

"We are waiting for a decision from the directors of Manchester City and Sylvinho also has a decision to make."

Those dots are unnecessary and cause only trouble.

Re: Sylvinho

This would be a great addition to the squad. Yet another player that has the winning mentality that we are looking to foster. Great cover for Bridge. I am not concerned about his age whatsoever. He keeps himself fit, has a great engine and is still an all-action full back. He's a top professional, just gets on with his job with no fuss and will make the dressing room an even better place to be. Also, i'm sure Robbie would welcome a fellow Brazilian now that Elano and Jo are no longer with us (not that he doesn't get on with everyone else, because he does). I'd be really happy with this signing. His representative says "he has a decision to make," so i guess he has to choose between being back-up with us but part of a great project, or go to a lesser team as first choice. I hope he chooses us, as he'd fit in well.
