Inter-Manchester City, Mangala deal close but needs time: the details

Eliaquim Mangala is in pole position to join Inter from Manchester City, but the transfer needs time. Manchester City does not want to let him go prior to their match against Bournemouth on Saturday. Inter remain optimistic, however, because the Frenchman's desire to join them has been made clear. Also, the citizens have given an opening to accept the loan proposal that Inter has made, therefore, the player could join Spalletti next week.
