De Rossi agrees Manchester City terms
12:00 PM 19 August, 2012
Daniele De Rossi has reportedly agreed a move to Manchester City.
Roberto Mancini is a huge admirer of his Italian compatriot, who he placed at the very top of his wanted list ahead of the summer transfer window.
It looked as though a deal for the midfielder was a non-starter, though, especially when the City boss instead spent £12million to lure Jack Rodwell from Everton.
However, Mancini remains interested in De Rossi, and reports in Italy claim the player has agreed terms with the Premier League champions.
The Blues still need to agree a fee with Roma, though, and sources claim the Serie A giants could demand as much as £30million for the 29-year-old ace.
