Man City flop Eliaquim Mangala joins Valencia on two-year deal
MANCHESTER CITY flop Eliaquim Mangala joins Valencia on two-year deal.
The French defender, 28, has finally left the Etihad, having spent time away on loan at Everton last year, joining the La Liga giants.
Mangala has penned a two-year contract and will now play for the Champions League participants until at least 2021.
The eight-cap France star spent the 2016-17 season on loan at Valencia, making 30 league appearances and scoring two goals.
Since joining Man City in 2014 – when he joined from Porto in a £30million fee – Mangala has never really tied down a first-team spot.
He made just 57 Premier League appearances, with only nine of those coming in his last season at the Etihad 2017-18 season.
SPAIN BOUND
Mangala failed to play a single match last season for City as they won the Prem title – edging Liverpool out by a single point.
In fact, the former Standard Liege man’s last competitive game was in February 2018.
Meanwhile, Man City ace Raheem Sterling could sign a monster £100million boot deal with Nike Air Jordan.
The sportswear brand are hoping to take on Nike and adidas having broken into the football market just a year ago.

Now they are set to table one of the most lucrative boot deals in the world to lure Sterling into signing with them.
