Manchester City are understood to have agreed a deal for Vedran Corluka.
According to reports in Croatia, the 6ft 3in defender is poised
to join City from Dinamo Zagreb for a fee in the region of ¿13million
(£8.7million).
Corluka, who played for Croatia when they defeated England in a
Euro 2008 qualifier, would also need to be granted a work permit before
a transfer could be finalised.
Sven Goran Eriksson has been working hard to strengthen his
squad since being appointed as City boss and has already brought in
four new faces in Martin Petrov, Rolando Bianchi, Gelson Fernandes and
Geovanni.
The Swede's efforts to sign a defender were thwarted when
Juventus rejected an offer for Giorgio Chiellini, but he has now turned
his focus elsewhere.
As well as Corluka, Eriksson is also closing in on Real Sociedad left-back Javi Garrido.
City are also reported to have agreed a deal for Fiorentina striker Valeri Bojinov.
