Guardiola "already convinced" by Portuguese ace

City want a midfielder to replace the departing Fernandinho and have identified Nunes. Nunes, 23, is valued at £34million or 40million euros by Sporting and it is being reported that Pep Guardiola is "already convinced" to sign him for City. Guardiola saw Nunes close up when he played against City in the Champions League in February.
Sporting are reportedly prepared to cash in on Nunes and he may have played his last game for them in their 4-0 win over Santa Clara on Saturday.
Saints want City teenager
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is reportedly keen on prising exciting young striker Liam Delap away from Manchester City, according to Sports Illustrated.

Hasenhuttl is a big admirer of Delap and would like to bring him to St Mary's. Delap, 19, has been limited to just cameo appearances for City and his first-team opportunities are unlikely to improve.
