Manchester City prepared to sell £7m Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Micah Richards - report
City boss Roberto Mancini is understood to be ready to cast aside the 21-year-old defender after a loss of form in recent campaigns and repeat injury problems. The imminent arrival of Hamburg utility defender Jerome Boateng will also rob Richards of further first-team opportunities.
On Monday, Mancini said City would refuse to sell their best players, but the Leeds-born right back is not believed to be in that group. He could now play Champions League football with Spurs next term as Harry Redknapp looks to boost his squad.
