Sevilla have revealed that agreement has been reached with Manchester City over their long-serving winger Jesus Navas.

Navas has plied his trade at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan since making his debut back in 2003. In that time he has won two Copa del Rey titles to go with his UEFA Cup wins, as well as being part of the Spain squads that won the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012. He will join a club in City who are yet to confirm their new manager following the departure of Roberto Mancini, though the appointment of Pellegrini is widely thought to be imminent. Pellegrini will certainly know plenty about Navas having spent the last decade in Spain, at Villarreal, Real Madrid and Malaga. City finished 11 points behind champions Manchester United in the Premier League this season as their title defence ended in disappointment.
