Legal chiefs finalising new £165,000-a-week Man City deal for Hart

Joe Hart is ready to ink a massive new deal with Manchester City.

The Mail on Sunday says details of the contract, which could be worth up to £165,000 a week, have been agreed between the Premier League champions and their longest-serving player.

Both sets of lawyers are now giving the documents a final check in the hope it can be announced before the club's big European clash.

The contract propels Hart into the group of higher earners at City alongside the likes of David Silva and ties him down to playing at The Etihad until the summer of 2019.

With bonuses and image rights, it could more than double his current wages of £80,000 a week.

Hart, 27, joined City from Shrewsbury for a bargain £600,000 in 2006 when Stuart Pearce was manager.
