I'm going to be away for the next few days so I expect this to one to be officially confirmed sometime over the weekend, but it is being reported this evening that City have a agreed a fee with Lazio for Alexsandar Kolarov.
After the story going cold over the last week, it was speculated on twitter by Christian Larsson that Lazio manager Edy Reja had confirmed a deal was 'imminent', before Daniel Taylor reported in The Guardian that a fee of £18million had been agreed between the clubs.
I'll post more in-depth on this once I'm back (assuming the deal is completed), but it does fill an obvious positional weakness and will no doubt raise questions over Wayne Bridge's future.
