Nigel de Jong is soon expected to leave the Manchester City team and put on the jersey of Inter Milan.

The City coach Roberto Mancini has given permission to sell the player to the Italians, as he does not see him in his future plans.

The 27-year-old Dutchman's contract with the current Premier League champions will end after this season and it is likely that Man City will agree to transfer the midfielder for around 9 million euros.

Lately, N. de Jong has been heavily contacted by Inter and the Dutch national team player Wesley Sneijder, who claims that this newcomer would greatly strengthen the Milan club.
