City linked with Sylvinho

While all the attention is on Joleon Lescott’s imminent arrival, City have now been linked with the Brazilian left-back Sylvinho. The former Arsenal left-back is available on a free transfer after being released by Barcelona. Discussions about the signing are believed to have taken place when City were in Spain last week.

The 35 year old’s last competitive game was in Barcelona’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League final.
