MENDY TO MAN CITY CLOSE
Sky sources understand Manchester City are close to finalising a deal for Monaco left-back Benjamin Mendy.
Monaco value the player at more than £50m, and as we reported on Tuesday, are not willing to sell unless they receive an "exceptional offer".
City are thought to have been offering nearer to £40m.
Sky Sports News HQ believes significant progress has been made in negotiations between the clubs in the last 24 hours and the deal could be agreed before the end of the week.
Mendy is keen on a move to the Premier League and earlier this week, posted a picture on Instagram wearing Union Jack shorts with the caption: ”See You Soon”.
Monaco look to have already found Mendy's replacement, following the signing of Feyenoord’s Terence Kongolo for £12million.
