New
York City midfielder Frank Lampard is in talks with Manchester City over a
six-month loan deal, according to Sky sources.
The former Chelsea player joined New York City, owned by Manchester City and
baseball giants New York Yankees, on July 24.
It was thought Lampard, 36, had agreed an autumn switch to join Manchester
City’s sister side Melbourne City where he would feature alongside New York
City teammate David Villa.
But the news of his decision to join Manuel Pellegrini's side will no doubt
cause huge disappointment down under.
City face Chelsea on Septemer 21 in the Premier League and it is likely
Lampard will be allowed to sit out of the clash to avoid damaging his
relationship with Chelsea supporters.
