Report: Manchester City to wrap up Eliaquim Mangala deal soon

Eliaquim Mangala will reportedly fly into England in the next 48 hours to complete a big-money switch to Manchester City.

City have been repeatedly linked with a £40m move for the Porto defender and The Mirror has claimed that a deal could be concluded this week, with the fee likely to be closer to £32m.

The transfer has been delayed due to a disagreement over how the fee would be paid between the two clubs, but City are said to be confident of finalising the transfer by the weekend.

Mangala was part of the France World Cup squad.
