But could Stevie be on his way to Italy instead?
But one place Mancini is interested in recruiting is Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard. The Mail on Sunday claimed that the former Man City boss wants to recruit Gerrard in January.
Gerrard, 34, has been linked with a move to the MLS as his career at Anfield is coming to an end. The star was dropped by Brendan Rodgers for the showdown at Real Madrid last month.
He is yet to agree an extension to his current deal at Anfield and is set to listen to offers from elsewhere before he commits his future to the club. Reports suggest that a move to Serie A could be very tempting for the midfielder, who is keen to prolong his playing days.
