Fernandinho gears up to move to Manchester City for better exposure

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has expressed interest in taking the midfielder into his side. But Fernandinho, 28, has a £42.5 million release clause in his contract. However, he hopes that the Ukrainian giants will accept close to £20m.

Fernandinho said: “I believe my chances of making the World Cup squad will improve if I join City.

“My exposure would be better, because Brazil is biased towards the Ukrainian league.

“What we do here is not recognized in my country. Playing in a division, at a club that is considered among the best in the world would help me get back in the Brazilian national team.

“There are a lot of people in England with good football knowledge. Those complement my skills, and motivate me to want to play in the Premier League.”
