Palermo Defender Simon Kjaer Rejected £18m Move To Manchester City - Report

Simon Kjaer - Palermo - Serie A (Grazia Neri)
Palermo defender Simon Kjaer has reportedly rejected an £18 million move to Manchester City, according to IMScouting.

It is said that the Sicilian club accepted the aforementioned bid from the moneybags of Manchester in exchange of the highly rated defender's services, but the 20-year-old turned down the move to join the Eastlands club in January.

Citizens' boss Roberto Mancini is believed to be keen on strengthening the defence and putting a stop to the back line's leaky nature, although recently denied speculation that the Dane was a part of his plans for the future.

However, it is claimed that the youngster had already snubbed the move to City by the time 'Mancio' had his say on the matter.

Kjaer was recently linked with Manchester United, but has maintained that he intends to remain with the Rosanero until the 2010 World Cup.
