The agent of Lille forward Eden Hazard has revealed that he is expecting a 30 million euro bid from Manchester City for his client in January.

Marc Fourmeux, who represents the interests of the Belgium international, says that he is envisaging Roberto Mancini's men to make the first move ahead of the likes of Real Madrid and Inter in a proposal that would also see the attacker stay in France until the end of the season on loan.

"There is much talk of an offer of 30 million euros from Manchester City, which will see him remain at Lille for the next six months," the agent told AS.

"His future is in any case destined for a big European club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Manchester City, AC Milan, Inter or Juventus."

However, Fourmeux also intimated that City may need to revise its offer as Lille president Michel Seydoux "is seeking 40 million euros", and also gave an update on the situation involving in-demand Rennes and France international midfielder Yann M'Vila.

"In Italy, Inter and AC Milan want him, but it remains to be seen who will pay for him and who can convince him," he revealed.

"Wanted parties must put their hands in pockets. M'Vila is estimated at 20 million euros but it is unclear where he would go."
