Newcastle and Man City are both considering a move for Deportivo La Coruna defender Fabricio Coloccini according to reports in The People today.
The 26 year old joined Deportivo in 2004 after being on loan at a whole host of clubs from AC Milan. He has recently been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona, however now Newcastle and Man City may have something to say about that.
It is thought that the defender is worth about £10 million and there is no doubt that either of those two English clubs need a solid centre half. Man City look like they will lose Richard Dunne to either Pompey or Spurs, while Newcastle have had constant defensive problems for the last few seasons.
