Not ITK but I've just been chatting to a Man City fan who reckons we are in for Rony Lopes, a 19 year old "number 10" who has turned down a new contract with them.

He's rated really highly at City isn't he? Same lad who was on loan at Lille last season?

would love to see us take a punt on him for a small fee.

We were linked tenuously with Lopes along with Spurs and Newcastle earlier on in the window but little more has been mentioned in that regard since. More recent rumours suggested City wanted to loan him out to a PL club, which would make sense considering how highly he's rated. He wasn't part of the Lille squad either time we played them last year but by all accounts looked impressive in Ligue 1.

Both Portugal and Brazil have apparently courted him for their national teams in the future, which gives an indication of his potential. A city fan pal of mine says he stood out massively in their u21s the season before last, hence the loan to Lille. City spunking £100m on Sterling and De Bruyne means he'll almost certainly go somewhere this summer, although I get the impression Martinez wants a more established player for the AM/No.10 position.

Never heard of him personally, but highly rated according to this Daily Fail article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-Ligue-1-Lille-wants-push-sky-blue-shirt.html
