Brazilian to stay at Manchester City

Elano is ready to sign a new contract with Manchester City.

The Brazilian midfielder is coming to the end of his second season at Eastlands and has rediscovered the form which made him such a crowd favourite when he was snapped up from Shakhtar Donetsk by Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Yet for a lot of this season, it seemed the £8million midfielder would be destined for the exit door.

Elano was hit by one club fine after expressing his irritation at Mark Hughes' team selection and there have been frequent rumours the pair still do not see eye-to-eye.

However, with fellow countryman Robinho pledging his future to City, there appears to have been a thaw in relations between Elano and his manager.
