Manchester City set to secure January deal for world-class midfielder
Posted Wednesday, November 25, 2015 by kickoff.co.uk
Recent performances at Sevilla and at home to Liverpool have highlighted just how hot and cold Manchester City can blow, so the presence of a calming influence in the team would certainly not go amiss.
Andrea Pirlo definitely fits the bill on that front and the Metro is reporting that he will join Manuel Pellegrini’s men in January.
Currently with New York City in the MLS, it makes perfect sense that the 36-year-old would be looking to return to Europe during the off-season, with the close links between the two clubs making the Etihad Stadium an obvious destination.
Frank Lampard showed last season that veteran players can still make an impact in the Premier League, whilst Pirlo himself played a significant role as Juventus wrapped up a fourth consecutive Serie A title.
The Italian international only managed four goals to Lampard’s six, but he did serve up five assists to the ex-Chelsea man’s one.
