15:43 €45m for Silva + €15m for Slimani?
The latest from Portuguese newspaper Record suggests there is a deal in place for City to sign both Islam Slimani and Adrien Silva for €60m, but with Silva costing the bulk of the combined fee.
Reports this morning suggested the split was €35m for Slimani (which corresponds with the £30m figure reported elsewhere) and €25m for Silva.
However, Slimani has a third party owner, Saudi Arabian businessman Abou Khaled Gheram, who has a 20% stake in the Algerian.
In order to reduce the fee Sporting owe to Gheram, Record believe City will officially pay just €15m for Slimani and €45m for Silva.
