Barry to seal City move?

Last updated : 02 June 2009 By Master Bob

Aston Villa have confirmed that Gareth Barry is in talks with Manchester City about a possible £18m transfer to Eastlands.

Barry has long been coveted by Liverpool, but the reds have been unwilling to meet Villa's asking price, leaving the way open for City to grab his signature.

if successful, Barry will be Marrk Hughes' first major signing of the summer, only a day after the transfer window opened.

More to follow soon.
