Manchester City's Elano claims Inter Milan talks

Elano has had a mixed season at Eastlands and has continuously been linked with a move away from the club after spending most of the first half of the season on the bench. The 27-year-old found his form towards the end of the campaign but is likely to fall further down the pecking order following the arrival of Gareth Barry.  Related ArticlesHughes in hurry to reinforceTransfer superpowersPremier League Transfer TalkMan City sign £12m BarryBarry's City move an embarrassment to VillaCity target Tevez and BarryAnd Elano has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Inter coach Jose Mourinho. "There are ongoing negotiations and I hope the Inter directors will go right to the end," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I want to wear the Inter shirt." Elano signed a four-year contract at City when he moved from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2007.Meanwhile, fellow Brazilian midfielder Ze Roberto claims Man City are "top of the list" of possible destinations after he was offered only a one-year contract extension by Bayern Munich. The 34-year-old's current deal in Bavaria expires at the end of the month and he had been hoping to receive a longer commitment from the Bundesliga club than the 12 months on the table. He has, therefore, turned his attention to other options and appears keen on a move to Eastlands. "(My future) will be decided in the next few days," he told German newspaper tz. "Manchester City's interest is right at the top of the list. They want to get into Europe and I am wanted to help them (get there). "There are also two Bundesliga sides interested in me. One of them is even offering me a three-year contract. There is also a club from Saudi Arabia and some US clubs interested."
