Cardiff City have already received interest in Bruno Manga after Neil Warnock confirmed he’s ready to offload the big-earning centre-back.

Bluebirds boss Warnock had already warned he would be prepared to sell senior players if it means he can land the January deals he thinks can push Cardiff up the Championship table.

And he has now admitted he has told Manga he can move on with the right offer when the window opens next month.
I’m looking to get him away. He’s all for it, he understands. I’ve got to do some financial wheeling and dealing.
I’ve had no problem with Bruno, in fact in the last couple of weeks he’s been fantastic in his training, and it wouldn’t bother me putting him in if I had to before now and the African Nations.
But, just because we might try and move on or two financially, doesn’t mean he’s going to go. And if he doesn’t he’ll be part of the plans for the rest of the season, you can’t write anybody off.
But when you look at how you’re going to thin the squad, there may be one or two surprises because I might have to generate money to bring the ones I want in.

 

 

 

 

The African Nations is not going to make it any easier, but we’ve had three or four clubs from different countries ask about him. He’s got a very global agent so I’m sure there’ll be phonecalls happening all the time and people watching him in the Cup of Nations might be a good thing.
