City closing in on Brazilian targets

Manchester City executive chairman Garry Cook expects the club to confirm the signing of striker Jo in the next week and has also raised hopes of a deal for Barcelona and Brazil playmaker Ronaldinho coming to Eastlands.

City are just days away from finalising the terms of their move for Jo, the CSKA Moscow forward, but it is the news that the club have been given permission to talk to his compatriot, one of the most recognisable players in world football, that will really excite fans.
