Man City close in on Betis' Varela

Manchester City are closing in on Real Betis midfielder Fernando Varela.
Varela is off contract at the end of this season and already has received an offer from City.
Betis president Manuel Ruiz de Lopera wants Varela to stay, but won't match City's contract offer for the youngster when talks over a new deal resume at the end of this month.
