Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is keen to land the services of Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi, according to reports in The Metro.
Mancini had been linked with a move for De Rossi during the course of the summer transfer window but nothing materialized.
After the Carlos Tevez incident against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night, Mancini is even more eager to acquire the services of De Rossi and will be willing to make an offer in the region of £24million when the January transfer window opens.
Speaking earlier this summer about the 28-year-old, Italian international, Mancini said: "De Rossi would be absolutely perfect (for Manchester City), I rate him one of the best midfielders in the world."
However Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini believes De Rossi will extend his current deal, which expires in 2012.
