The top news from the Premier League today is that Manchester United have made a £15m pound bid for Barcelona youngster Thiago Alcantara.  Barca's Spanish U21 midfielder shone in the sides recent victorious run in the Euros.  Alcantara is being billed as the natural replacement for long serving midfielder Paul Scholes who retired at the end of last season.

Lille seem to have finally got the idea that Gervinho is no longer wanting to stay in France, he has been linked with a whole host of clubs this summer, just about every top 10 team has had an interest and it seems that finally now he had indicated that he will be joining Arsenal at the Emirates for the beginning of the Premier League season, the fee is somewhere around £12m for the highly rated Ivory Coast International.

Big spending City are also ready to splash the cash, boss Roberto Manchini has highlighted three players he wants at Eastlands for next season.  The first is 23 year old Fiorentina midfielder Allesio Cerci, he has also been linked with Stefan Savic the 20 year old currently plays his football for Partizan Belgrade and commands a £7m asking price.  Last one on city's radar is Sergio Romero a 24 year old Montenegro goalkeeper, who will surely be brought in to cover Joe Hart as Shay Given will be leaving to pursue first team football.

Man City eye £45m rated Javier Pastore

It could turn out to be one of the biggest signings made by any club this season with mega rich Manchester City chasing Palermo's £45m rated Argentine playmaker Javier Pastore.

Palermo president Maurizio Zamprini claims that City are leading the chase for his star player but there are also six to seven other clubs in the mix.  The star is so highly rated that Zamprini has compared him to being worth two of Brazilian superstar Naymar, he said "Pastore is worth two Neymars, he is one of those who will win the Ballon D'Or in the coming years.  He is a champion.  Like him there are only Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, Rooney and this quality player is only 22 years old".

If the signing come off Pastore will be joining International team mate and City skipper Carlos Tevez at the Eastlands.  It is firmly believed that Pastore is destined for great things and in the next couple of years will be one of the best players in the world.

Man City boss Roberto Mancini is still chasing his number one target for the summer Chilean Alexis Sanchez but he faces tough competition from Barcelona for the signature of the Udinese superstar.  They are also still in the hunt for German winger Marko Marin.  Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder and Arsenal's Samir Nasri is a possibility.
