Man City return to talks for Porto defender Mangala

Manchester City are again in negotiations with Porto for defender Eliaquim Mangala.

It emerged last week that Barcelona had ended their interest over Porto's asking price for the France international.

However, Portuguese sources say City are closing in on the signing of Mangala in a €45million deal (£36m).

Chelsea and Manchester United are also thought to be chasing Mangala with the French international set to make a decision on his future after the World Cup.
