MCMANAMAN SET FOR MAN CITY SWITCH
Friday 29th August 2003
Steve McManaman is set to become a Manchester City player this weekend after Real Madrid released him from the remainder of his contract.
The former England midfielder, who had a year left on his Bernabeu deal, will sign a two-year contract with City if he passes a medical.
The 31-year-old will become Kevin Keegan's second signing in little more than 24 hours following the arrival of £2.5million Claudio Reyna from Sunderland.
City chairman John Wardle said: "We are delighted with the move for Steve as this shows our intent to continue to drive forward.
"By bringing in players of the calibre of McManaman and Claudio Reyna, whose signing we completed today, we are showing a real ambition to progress."
McManaman will link up with his long-time friend and former Liverpool team-mate Robbie Fowler at the City of Manchester Stadium.
In other transfers John Alieu Carew has gone from Valencia to Roma and Stephane Dalmat is close to signing on loan with Boro. Makelele is just awaiying a medical at Chelsea
