Inter Midfielder Patrick Vieira Confirms Manchester City Transfer And France Desire

Inter midfielder Patrick Vieira has all but confirmed his move to Manchester City as he packs his bags in Milan and heads back to England.

The Frenchman is expected to complete his move to the Premier League later, and has echoed the words of coach Jose Mourinho on Wednesday afternoon, when he confirmed that Vieira had played his last game for the club against Chievo.

Vieira told French TV station Canal +, "I want to go to the World Cup and I need to play."

The former Arsenal and Juventus man had been peripheral to plans at Appiano Gentile this season, and it seems the move has been prompted by his desire for a final international fling with Les Bleus.

Both Il Corriere Dello Sport and Sportmediaset.it claim the midfielder will join City in the coming days.
