In view of the difficulty in getting to the brazilian of Barcellona Dani Alves, Manchester City have moved their attention to a market objective of Milan and Juventus: the side defender of Ajax and the Dutch natioal team Gregory Van der Wiel.

According to As Barcellona would be near an agreement with Alves for a renewal until 2014, so the Citizens would be looking at the Dutch defender. Milan and Juventus were favourites for the player but with the English club now joining the competition, the race for the 23 year old is more complicated. His price is 15 million euro and is destined to go up to at least twenty.
