Osasuna have warned Manchester City off moves for Cesar Azpilicueta and Nacho Monreal.

Reports in Spain have suggested cash-rich City are lining up a double swoop for the Osasuna duo after Mark Hughes was spotted watching the pair in action for Osasuna against Barcelona at the weekend.

Hughes is thought to be keen to bolster his defensive options with new full-backs believed to be his top priority.

Right-back Azpilicueta is one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe with the likes of Arsenal, Valencia, Juventus, Fiorentina and Palermo all credited with an interest in the 20-year-old.

Monreal is also attracting interest from a host of sides and he has broken into the Spain squad this season.

Osasuna are keen to keep the pair and club president Patxi Izco insists they would only consider selling the duo if someone meets their buy-out clauses.

"There is nothing to discuss or negotiate," Izco told Diario de Noticias de Navarra.

"We rely on both players and they can leave the club in January only if will come some club who pay their clauses."

Azpilicueta is understood have a release clause of 15m euros (£13.5m) while in the case of Monreal it is of 12m euros (£10.8m).


£10.8m?? Meh

£13.5m?? Meh

£10.8m + 13.5m = £24.3m = MEH!!


Do you mean 'meh' as in "meh, I'll pass on that one", or "meh, that's pocket change"?

I'm guessing the latter, but shouting "MEH" confused me - it's not the sort of thing you can shout without it losing its apathetic tone.

Sorry chaps, small change option. If we really want those 2 players, Hughes will tell Cook and they will both come. Simples

Manchester City are ready to make a move for Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure in January.
Full story: The Sun

City boss Mark Hughes is also keen to sign Inter Milan full-back Maicon but, if he fails, will turn his attention to Osasuna right-back Cesar Azpilicueta.

Portsmouth are hoping to re-sign former striker Benjani from Manchester City once their cash crisis eases in January.

If any of that story is true - I'm happy. Don't know quite how Toure would fit in exactly but he's a good player.
