According to recent reports from Gazetta Dello Sport, Manchester City have reached a personal term agreement with Serie A star Dusan Vlahovic.

More from Man City Transfer Rumors

This could mean that Manchester City have given up on their hopes of landing Harry Kane this summer. Pep Guardiola and City have been chasing the English captain for some time now, and with Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy playing hardball, it does not look like Kane will be making that record-trip to the Etihad anytime soon.

Reports suggest that a 100 million pound bid has already been rejected by Tottenham and Levy is not ready to talk about City’s next offer which is around 125 million pounds.

Even though Harry Kane said that he had a “gentleman’s agreement” with the club, which meant that the club would allow him to leave if a good big came for him, he is still yet to leave the club with only 12 days remaining in the transfer window.

Vlahvoic is being looked at as an alternative to Harry Kane and from recent reports, it seems that City have leapfrogged in the race to sign him and have agreed on personal terms with him. Many clubs are interested, including Tottenham,  in the Serbian sharpshooter, who had a stellar season with Fiorentina in the Serie A last year. 

City have an offer of around 68 million pounds ready for Fiorentina. Furthermore, Manchester City is ready to pay an agent fee of 7 million pounds to Darko Ristic for his help in brokering this deal.

With personal terms agreed and Vlahovic costing City nearly half of what Harry Kane would cost them, do you think it is a good move for  City to leave Harry Kane and instead pursue the Vlahovic deal with all their efforts?

Do you think Vlahovic will be a good signing for City?
