O'NIELL: MILNER MAY MOVE IF MAN CITY HAVE MONEY
James Milner's potential transfer to Manchester City had a moment of clarity today.
After days of rumored fallout's and accusations, Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill made it plain that the England International may leave the club, as long as Manchester City pay the asking price, rumored to be in the $46 million range.
O'Niell won't stand in the way of the 24-year-old midfielder desire to join City, but has made it clear that Milner has asked to leave the club.
"James and his agent came to see us before the World Cup and intimated that they would like to go." O'Neill told Villa's official website. "Manchester City made an offer, which we told them (Milner and his Agent).
"There is a difference of valuation at this moment between the buying club and the selling club. That may well be resolved and if that is the case then absolutely fine.
"I think James' agent has told our chief executive that he wouldn't be signing a new contract. Obviously that puts a different slant on things, like everything else. If a fee is agreed, at the end of the day, the player can leave."
City are preparing another offer of $38 million in hopes of resolving the matter, but whay Villa will do with the bid is unknown.
