Manchester City striker Jo joins Internacional
LONDON, July 20 (Reuters) - Manchester City's Brazilian striker Jo has joined Internacional, the Premier League club
said on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old, who moved to City in 2008 for a then-club record fee of 18 million pounds ($29 million) from CSKA Moscow,
returns to Brazil having failed to make an impact at Eastlands.
"Jo has left Manchester City for Brazilian club Internacional," City said in a statement on their website
(www.mcfc.co.uk).
Jo, who has played three times for brazil, scored six goals in 41 games in his three years at the club that included loan
spells at Premier League Everton and Turkish side Galatasaray.
Jo's move to Internacional comes a day after another Brazilian side Corinthians pulled out of a deal to sign City
striker Carlos Tevez.
The Argentina forward had been expected to complete a move after City manager Roberto Mancini said on Monday that a deal
had been struck between the two clubs.
Corinthians said they had run out of time to sign Tevez before the transfer window closes at 2100 GMT on Wednesday.
