Alessio cerci
- Thread starter NDJ
- Start date
Mancini was asked about him last night and said something like he's a good player.
We've been linked with him in the English press as well. I assume it's the same Cerci....the Fiorentina midfielder. Don't know much about him other than what's on Wiki. i.e much capped young player with Italian National U17s, 21s etc.

I know it's only Goal but cites a couple of Italian sources saying deal is all but done after talks this morning

Searched him out immediately. Very quick player it seems, another SWP, most likely replacement of SWP and much more quality competition for AJ.

Is he any good? Seems like he wasn't good enough for Roma and if Fiorentina are willing to sell so cheap he surely won't be a starter?

Manchester City on brink of securing €7m deal for Fiorentina's Alessio Cerci - reports
Young Italian wide man looks set to leave Serie A for the Premier League as Roberto Mancini moves closer to finalising a deal with the club he coached a decade ago
By Salvatore Landolina
Manchester City are on the verge of completing a €7 million transfer for Fiorentina winger Alessio Cerci.
Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport both report that the Premier League side are in the process of closing a deal with the Tuscan outfit for the 23-year-old.
Talks have developed within the last few hours of Wednesday morning and it is said City will pay Fiorentina around €7m for the player after both clubs reached an agreement over the fee.
Cerci, who can play as a striker or winger, had a mixed season last term, but he burst into life towards the end of the campaign where he was a regular starter for his side.
The former Roma man joined the Artemio Franchi-based club in 2010 on a five-year deal.
Fiorentina coach Sinisa Mihajlovic will be looking for reinforcements if Cerci completes his move to City after having also lost Adrian Mutu to Cesena from his front line.

Stats from last season (all competitions):
Games started: 18
Sub appearances: 7
Goals: 8
Assists: 3
Shots: 47
Shots on goal: 20
Fouls committed: 29
Fouls won: 25
Age 23, uncapped at senior level for Italy, capped at all youth levels. Can't help but feel he is going to be a fringe player, probably a cheaper (wages-wise) replacement for an outgoing player like SWP.
