Manchester City are in talks with Miguel Veloso's agent over a £15m summer move to the City of Manchester Stadium. The Portuguese international is set to leave Sporting Lisbon this summer, having come close to moving to England in the January transfer window.Arsenal and Tottenham were also linked with the 22-year-old midfielder, but Paulo Barbosa says City are showing the most interest.

"We have had some talks with Manchester City, yes," said Barbosa. "I am still in contact with the clubs who were interested in January.

"There is an agreement with Sporting that he will leave this summer, but we don't have an agreement with any other club [about a transfer] as yet.

"England is his first choice, and he already speaks good English. Everything is possible at the moment."

'Andy! What are you talking about if you knew anything about veloso you would know that he is a centre back who gets played out of position as a defensive midfielder ok look it up on wiki or something.as for him being small and wouldnt be able to cope with the prem what a load of rubbish for past 4 seasons that he has played in champions league with sporting he has been absolutely quality.oh and its centre back actually '

'if city are going to do anything with that vast amount of money would the safe bet not be to go for players already in the prem or world class players just a thought'

'"actually a cantre back" What are you talking about!?!?! Veloso is a small defensive midfield player who would probably struggle with the physical side of the premiership!!!'
