Manchester City is preparing to beat Arsenal to the signing of Porto star Yacine Brahimi by jumping in with a £33 million bid for the attacking midfielder as the club appears ready to let as many as ten players leave according to French sports newspaper L’Equipe.
The Algerian international has a £33 million release clause built into his contract with the Portuguese club and City is willing to meet it right out of the gate in order to beat Arsenal to the 25-year-old.
The Gunners were the previous favourites to land the African-Player-of-the-Year, but now could lose out due to Manchester City’s financial firepower.
