City lining up sales of Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic to make room for new signing.
Manchester City are ready to sell out-of-favour attacking duo Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic to free up space for mooted new signing Wilfried Bony, report the Mail, as the Premier League champions gear up to complete the £30 million deal for prolific Swansea City centre forward Bony.

Bony, the leading Premier League goalscorer during the calendar year of 2014, will represent a significant financial commitment for City and, whilst the money itself is not an issue, adherence to UEFA Financial Fair Play rules is an important consideration for the club.
The money will be freed up through the sales of Negredo and Jovetic, with the former currently on loan at Valencia with a £25m fee already agreed for the Spanish international, and the latter set to be made available in a bid to recoup a significant amount of the £22m that City paid to sign the Montenegrin from AS Roma.
