England ace, James Milner was one of top priorites this summer for Man City. They already sent an offer (£20m) to Aston Villa, but Villa rejected the offer, saying he is not for sale.

But it looks like, the things have changed now.  With Balotelli talks still ongoing we have to see if City will now go for Milner instead of Balotelli, for whom Inter is asking more than £30m, or maybe try to get them both.

But one thing is clear, Mancini loves Milner as a player. “Milner is a good player, but today he is an Aston Villa player.” “If we have this chance [to sign Milner] I think we can take him, but we must wait now.”, said Mancini according to Sky news.

Wolfsburg has announced that their two best players, Bosnian internationals, Dzeko and Misimovic will not be sold this summer. Although both of them have more than just a few offers, Wolfsburg doesnt want to sell them.

“We have decided to end the recurring speculation: both Edin Dzeko and Zvjezdan Misimovic will be staying at Wolfsburg, no matter what offers come in for them.”

“We did not want this speculation to become endless as we move closer to the start of the season. It made no sense to continue going around in circles. Now everybody can concentrate on the new season.

“Furthermore, both players have clear contracts which don’t leave any room for misinterpretation. There was not a single offer for either of them anyway so this discussion was only virtual.”

“I am convinced that our decision will have no effect on the performances of Edin and ‘Zwetschge’,” said the club’s managing director Dieter Hoeness, according to PA..
