Im not saying im a Man city ITK but i have a friend who works in football in italy and has for some time. He is normally dead on about deals that go on in italy and has even told me a few before that then happened 2 weeks later. For example he knew about Jose targeting muntari from pompey has has when sven took over he told me 2 strikers on there way one being bojinov and the he was not sure of yet. Basically he's sent me an email saying there has been discussions and he knows what type of players mancini is targeting and there all itailan based but a few.
He said moves for Maicon and Chielini are certain and that has been publisised. Chiellini costing around 22m and macion about 19m with Zab going the other way as jose doesnt want to lose macion for nothing and wants some cover. If this doesnt go through, which looks likley, mancini is adiment to get a RB and will look to bring in srna who has developed into a great player. Also if srna came he would be a contender for captin. Another defender which intrests mancini is domenico Criscito.
There is also talk about a replacement incase bellemy eaves with Inters Baloteli on a loan to buy and Mirko vucinic who mancini admires alot. There is talk of one more big money move and that comes in the summer with Pato on the list and city scouts will look at him and also montivolo and jovetic from fiorentina as mancini thinks they will help in midfield.
Thats basically all i have been told at the moment if he tells me anything else ill keep you posted.
