Geovanni To Leave City For Deportivo?


"Super Depo" are flirting with relegation at present, making winter signings all but vital. As such, Geovanni of Manchester City has been mooted as a winter target.

Coach Miguel Angel Lotina told Deportivo-La-Coruna.com, "He is another of the names that we are working on. Richard [Moar] is the one doing his job and we will tell the names as soon as they decide is the correct moment to do it."

Geovanni is out of favour at City, having made just two Premier League starts all season. The attack-minded player is largely employed only as a substitute, and with only six months left on hsi deal, could leave Eastlands at a budget price.

The former Barcelona and Cruzeiro man has not made his thoughts clear regarding a move to Galicia, but it is thought that his club would listen to an offer for him, at least.

Lotina ruled out a move for Rodrigo Palacio due to pricing concerns - 15 million euros is a bridge too far for the Riazor club - while Miguel Mista of Atletico Madrid remains an outside bet to sign on.

City, meanwhile, continue to deny any links with Amantino Mancini. However, reports suggest that Geovanni will be offloaded if Sven manages to sign the Roma winger.
