Manchester City are set to beat rivals Manchester United to the signature of Benfica’s Nicolas Gaitan in the summer by flexing their financial muscle. Argentine star Gaitan has a release clause written into his contract and City are hoping to land him in the summer by simply meeting Benfica’s asking price, reported to be around the £35m mark, instead of entering into a bidding war with United for his services.
Gaitan is set to leave Benfica in the summer and his destination could well be decided by which one of the two Manchester giants win the Premier League this season.
