Manchester City's resolve and Jesús Navas's desire to leave will almost certainly lead to the international winger's exit being confirmed this week.

It is the president José María del Nido himself who is personally overseeing the negotiations, with the English team offering a sum of €25 million and the Seville-based club asking for €28 million. City and Navas have already reached an agreement and the player is taking English classes.

This financial boost to the coffers has a knock-on effect for another player: Álvaro Negredo. His departure from the team was a sure thing but, with a cash injection, Del Nido feels able to hold onto him. The Spanish marksman has scored 25 goals for his team this season.
