Manchester City are moving for Barcelona whizkid Adrian Bernabe.

Sport says City are in advanced talks with the 16 year-old and are on the brink of closing an agreement.

Bernabe is off contract in June and will join City on a free transfer.

An attacking midfielder, Bernabe has already approved the deal with City and is preparing to pursue his pro career in England.

For their part, Barca management are angry, rating the teen among the best young talents inside their La Masia academy.
