United could steal £10m Man City defender Dunne for £1.5m

RICHARD Dunne may exit Manchester City for a knockdown £1.5m this summer - and could make a move to Newcastle United it has been reported.
Dunne is understood to be frustrated at the impasse in talks over a new deal and could take advantage of a FIFA ruling to leave, reckons the Daily Mirror.

Article 17 of FIFA's transfer regulations says that players over the age of 28, who have served at least two years, can buy out the remaining 12 months of their contract.

Dunne, 28, is aware of the FIFA ruling but would prefer to stay and commit his best years to the club.

However, the defender is reportedly disappointed with the club's opening offer and wants a pay rise which reflects his age and status as City's best performer of the last few years.

Will never leave for MU...just tabloids and his agent using the opportunity to worry City.

Wow must be a slow news day. Dunne is very, very happy at City and has already said this is just a load of bollocks. He wants to finish his career at City and repay us for sticking by him. He even turned down Chelsea in the summer cos he loves us so much so this story is a load of $h!t. Its just like all the rumours that Richards was unhappy with our offer and wanted to leave and he never said anything of the sort.

Sven Goran Eriksson insists Richard Dunne's new deal at Manchester City remains 'in the pipeline'.



There has been speculation that the City defender could leave Eastlands in the summer after contract negotiations stalled in the January transfer window.


However, City boss Eriksson is confident contract talks will resume shortly and that Dunne will agree new terms.


City have recently secured England international Micah Richards to a long-term deal and midfielder Dietmar Hamann agreed an extended one-year contract on Wednesday.


Dunne, though, is rumoured to be keen to agree terms which place him on a par with City's top earners.


But Eriksson is certain that the two parties will reach an agreement and that Dunne will sign a new deal.


"It (a new contract) is still in the pipeline and I am sure he will sign a new contract," Eriksson told the Manchester Evening News.

Sven loves Dunne and we have lots of money, we will make him a decent offer and seen as he loves us he will sign.

This is patently a load of Cr@p - he's a guaranteed starter at an improving, ambitious club with a shot at CL football in the near future.

All this will be is that his agent has knocked back the first offer of a new contract, which is after all what agents are there to do. I doubt very much that he'd buy out his contract...
