Manchester City have completed the £18 million signing of Portsmouth midfielder Lassana Diarra.
The People says the Frenchman is not expected to play for Portsmouth again as City do not want to risk their investment.
Diarra, 23, will officially sign on New Year's Day after boss Mark Hughes beat Manchester United and Tottenham to his signature.
The Frenchman will double his money with a £90,000-a-week deal as City's Arab owners flex their financial muscle.
Its from tribal but this could be true.
