City after de Rossi

City will be without Yaya Toure for the African Cup of Nations and want to strengthen their options with the Roma man.

“He is a winner and he would be the perfect man to strengthen City”, said Mancini.

“We will certainly try for him, but we must get the right signals from Roma.

“There’s no sense in us making a move if they don’t want to let him go, so that’s the question.”
