Manchester
City are making ready to lodge a summer bid for Barcelona's
Aliaksandr Hleb, according to L'Equipe.
The French
newspaper claims that the cashed-up Eastlands club are willing to offer a
four-year deal to the former Arsenal midfielder, whose
last two seasons on the continent have not gone quite as planned.
The
Belarussian hardly featured for Barca as they blasted their way to a
glorious treble last season, and so was shipped out to Stuttgart at the
end of the campaign.
And while Hleb has recaptured much of his
spark on his old Bundesliga stomping ground, a permanent deal looks
unlikely following a dispute with VfB coach Christian Gross.
A
return to the Premier
League is now a real possibility for the 28-year-old
playmaker, who made 130 appearances during his three terms with the
Gunners.
Apart from Man City, Aston Villa are also said to
be interested in Hleb.
