Wilfried Bony fee agreed between Swansea and Manchester City with offer close to £30m and striker set for £100,000 per week




Wilfried Bony's move to Manchester City is set to be completed after Swansea accepted an offer worth close to £30million.The initial fee is £25m up front, plus a further £3m if City win the Barclays Premier League, Champions League or FA Cup, though Bony would have to figure in 60 per cent of games in those competitions.
Swansea had been locked in talks with the Premier League champions over the structuring of the transfer, with City having to satisfy Financial Fair Play criteria to enable a move for the prolific 26-year-old.

But after those issues were resolved, City will now wrap up their move for the striker, who will not be available for selection until he returns from the African Cup of Nations.
Bony is currently in Abu Dhabi – the home of City's owners - with the Ivory Coast national side ahead of the African Cup of Nations.


But it is understood personal terms have been agreed on a four-year contract worth in the region of £100,000 a week.
That is close to double what the striker, who has scored 34 goals in 70 games at Swansea, is earning at the Liberty Stadium.

He said on Saturday: 'I really want to win something in my career. That is what I'm working for.'
It remains to be seen if Bony's belated arrival will resurrect the title bid of a side that has been desperately lacking available strikers.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off. Cesc Fabregas is ruled out for suspension and midfielder Nemanja Matic joins the squad after ban.
