P*****t 发帖数: 4978 | 1 The Manchester City manager, Roberto Mancini, has confirmed the club's
interest in signing the Argentinean striker Sergio Agüero from Atlético
Madrid and the Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri.
Mancini's pursuit of the 23-year-old Agüero appears to confirm that Carlos
Tevez's request to leave the Etihad Stadium will be granted.
Tevez has told City he wants to leave in order to spend more time with his
children. The Brazilian side Corinthians have had a bid of £40m turned
down for the striker, and their president Andrés Sánchez said on Friday
that the Italian side Juventus had made an even bigger offer for the player.
City are understood to want in the region of £50m for their club
captain.
Mancini has already given thought to the role Agüero could play at City,
and told Sky Sports News: "Agüero is a player that can play for Manchester
City because he is young and he is a good player like Carlos. He can score a
lot of goals and can play with Mario [Balotelli], with Edin [Dzeko] ... it
could be [that he joins]."
Nasri was also confirmed as a target for Mancini, and the Italian manager is
hopeful he could tie up a deal for the Frenchman "before the end of the
month."
Mancini added: "Samir is under contract with Arsenal. Also for Samir it
depends on many things."
Asked if an offer has been made for Nasri, Mancini continued: "I don't know
in this moment, I don't know the situation but for Nasri it is difficult. I
hope that we can buy because we need other players, and I hope that this
player can arrive before the end of the month."
Nasri has one year left on his Arsenal contract and has been strongly linked
with a move away from the Emirates Stadium. |
