Manchester City have released a video that appears to show Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala signing for the club.<\/p>\n
The France international, 23, has been linked with a \u00a332m move to City and was spotted in Manchester this month but no official announcement has been made.<\/p>\n
However, a clip on the club’s website – which has since been taken down – shows the player having a medical.<\/p>\n
City say their system was hacked, that the video should not have gone out and that the deal has not been completed.<\/p>\n
A spokesman said: “Our video storage system for City TV has been hacked and the video was leaked. The deal is not done or officially confirmed on our website.”<\/p>\n
The footage, shot for City TV, shows a private jet touching down at Manchester Airport accompanied by the caption “9am: French international defender Eliaquim Mangala arrives in Manchester.”<\/p>\n
The player then disembarks and is met by club officials. “City’s newest signing en route to his medical,” proclaims the next caption.<\/p>\n
Mangala joined Porto in 2011 from Belgian club Standard Liege and has made 92 appearances in total<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Mangala, dressed in a black leather jacket, black jeans and a white shirt, is then taken in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes to the club’s Carrington training ground where he is shown the gym.<\/p>\n
He is asked to give a message to City fans.<\/p>\n
“I am here to help the team win titles, the league, the cup and the Champions League,” he says. “I am ambitious and this is why I am here.”<\/p>\n
He is then asked what his ambition is with City.<\/p>\n
“To play as many games as possible and to help the team the best I can to be champions of England.”<\/p>\n
Mangala, who was in the France squad for the recent 2014 Fifa World Cup but remained an unused substitute throughout the tournament,came close to joining City\u00a0in January.<\/p>\n
