Manchester City have agreed a fee of around £29 million with Valencia for David Silva. The Premier league club will now have to agree terms with the Spanish midfielder who is currently on international duty at the World Cup.

Despite recent reports, neither Barcelona or Real Madrid are currently pursuing the player, however, with Silva yet to agree a deal with City - an approach from Chelsea or Manchester United would provide competition for his signature.

Nevertless, David Silva`s representatives have been impressed with City`s determination to land the player and with the club`s ambitious plans for the next season. With a deal for Yaya Toure agreed, City are also in the hunt for James Milner, a centre back, full backs and a forward.
