Man City defender Zabaleta in talks with Roma

Manchester City's Pablo Zabaleta is believed to be in discussions with AS Roma.

The Argentine right-back is looking to leave Etihad Stadium this summer and could be on his way to the Italian capital for £2.5million.

Zabaleta, 31, has a year remaining on his current City deal but is expected to depart as incoming manager Pep Guardiola is unlikely to revert him to first-choice ahead of Bacary Sagna.

Despite the reports, however, City suggest they are yet to receive a formal offer for Zabaleta who has been with the club since 2008.
