Hughes chasing 'little Maradona'
Manchester City have made an offer for Peruvian midfielder Roberto Merino according to his agent.
Merino currently plays for Serie B side Salernitana with the 27-year-old having previously played for sides in Spain, Switzerland and Greece.
Merino’s agent Jose Alberti describes the player as a ‘little Maradona’ who uses his trickery to run rings around the opposition.
City boss Mark Hughes has already moved to bolster his midfield options with the signing of Gareth Barry from Aston Villa, while Elano is reportedly eyeing a move to Inter.
The Premier League side will face stiff competition to sign Merino with Fiorentina also in the market for his signature.
“He is the kind of player that forces the defending team to pick up at least four bookings per game because he is really fantastic,†Alberti told Mediagol.
“ Right now he has received an offer from Manchester City and another one from one of the clubs that want him.
“We have been contacted by Fiorentina, and wearing the purple shirt next season would be an honour for Merino. He is really a little Maradona.â€
