Manchester City's owners are closing in on adding an eleventh team to their stable of clubs as they are reportedly days away from completing the takeover of Italian side Palermo.

Sky Sports Italia have reported that representatives from the City Football Group have flown to Milan for talks with Palermo's president Dario Mirri.

More talks are expected over the next few days and it's said that only the 'last set of paperwork and bureaucracy is left to be ironed out'.
