Gossip: City on brink of landing winger?

Manchester City's new 10-year kit deal with Puma dominates this morning's headlines.

The landmark partnership, covered extensively on mancity.com yesterday, will see City wear uniquely designed kits that also feature the Club’s 125th anniversary crest throughout next season.
But there is some transfer gossip circulating this morning, including this one from the Manchester Evening News’ Stuart Brennan who says City are on the verge of landing Sporting Lisbon winger Felix Correia.
Brennan says a deal is close to being finalised, with Correia expected to go out on loan once his switch to the Etihad is ratified.
“Manchester City have beaten off competition from Barcelona and Juventus to land Sporting Lisbon winger Felix Correia," he writes.
“The 18-year-old, who also plays for Portugal Under-19s, is expected in Manchester imminently to complete the move.
“He is expected to be loaned out next season, with no decision taken yet as to his destination.
“But Spanish sister club Girona, as well as Dutch associate NAC Breda are both in the frame.
“He is said to be technically excellent, as well as quick with good ball control and dribbling ability, and an eye for goal, and can play on either flank.
“Correia is also able to play as an attacking midfielder, and scored seven goals in 20 games for Sporting’s under-19 team this season."


Meanwhile, Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni says City striker Sergio Aguero will start their Copa America semi-final clash against Brazil.
City’s all-time leading scorer has played three of Argetina’s four games in the tournament thus far, scoring one and setting up two.

"What I can confirm is that Aguero is going to be a starter," Scaloni said (as reported by Goal).
"It always comes out that the doubt is Aguero and he ends up playing."
