City handed fresh Krasic swoop hopes
Milos Krasic's agent thinks the Serbia international is likely to join big-spending Manchester City after his World Cup interests are over.[LNB] Krasic had set his sights on a move to Italy and looked on the brink of joining Juventus, but the Bianconeri have instead virtually wrapped up a move for Catania's Jorge Martinez.[LNB]Martinez's move to Turin has seen Juve end their interest in Krasic and the CSKA Moscow winger's agent claims City are now favourites to win the race for his signature.[LNB]"The deal with Juventus is closed," Vlado Borozan told Tuttomercatoweb.com. "After Martinez the Bianconeri cannot also bring in Krasic.[LNB]"Now the most likely club is Manchester City, even though the footballer has said he wants to play in Italy."[LNB]Juventus are thought to have been unwilling to pay over 13million euros for Krasic while CSKA reportedly raised the price tag to 18million when they heard of City's interest in the 25-year-old.[LNB]That deal would end Juventus' interest in Krasic, who impressed during Serbia's shock 1-0 victory against Germany.[LNB]Martinez has spent the past three years at Catania and was surprisingly left out of the Uruguay squad despite the winger enjoying a stunning campaign last term.[LNB]The 27-year-old is expected to pen his new contract on Monday, with Catania receiving a reported 12million euros.[LNB]Catania director Pietro Lo Monaco said: "Jorge Martinez is a Juventus player and so we have to say goodbye to him.[LNB]"I want to congratulate him because he will be wearing the shirt of a very important club."
