Manchester City have suffered a setback in their quest to sign Alvaro Negredo, 27, after the Spanish striker claimed he was happy to stay at Sevilla.

Full story: Daily Mail

What’s the story? Yesterday he was near enough signed, today not. Such is this transfer window.

Does it make sense? No. He’s asked to leave the club to go to a Champions League club apparently. Why has this come about so suddenly?

Is the price right? Sevilla would have to accept £15-18m given their financial straits and attempts to completely rebuild the squad.

Will it happen? 5/10 – It might depend on what happens with Jovetic.
