Neither do City, thankfully.
Corinthians' bluff will be called in the next 48 hours.

As for Mancini's comments today, partly lead by the interviewer, but tellingly, if these two players were so in the bag, there is absolutely no way Mancini would be talking about them in such a candid manner.
He is simply exerting pressure on their respective clubs in a bid to do business, keep the pressure on other targets.
