Here's the latest news on the Zura situation. Can't give the source, obviously, but it's someone with inside knowledge who is a friend and emails me occasionally. What he doesn't say is when this transfer will take place, whether January or end of season. We shall have to wait and see.
"Zura is indeed being tracked by 2 English clubs, Man. City being one, but the one the Dees are chasing is Sunderland whom are willing, it would seem, to meet his pre-contract agreed figure of 1.5 M. Man. City are only willing to go as high as £1m.
"Zurab had a clause in his contract to sell him on to any club if they agreed to pay £1.5M. He's also under 24 and thus Bosman exempt so he's worth a fair whack as a proven internationalist even under a walk out scenario. I think also that Ivano is entitled to £££ but no figure mentioned.
