Benfica star Coentrao open to Man City move

Benfica wing-back Fabio Coentrao says he is prepared to leave the Lisbon giants this summer.

Coentrao is a £20 million target for Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini, as he seeks a new fullback signing.

Aware of City's interest, Coentrao said: "I have a contract until 2015. I do not know if there are clubs wanting to pay my £23 million buyout clause, but I believe that if they do, it will be good for Benfica. And if it's good for Benfica, it will be good for me.

"I am at a big club in Benfica, but all players dream of playing at a higher level."
