The agent of Udinese midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has confirmed the interest of Manchester City.
The 22-year-old Ghana international is regarded highly by City manager Roberto Mancini.
"I cannot deny that there are several clubs interested," said agent Claudio Vagheggi to Firenzeviola.it.
"Manchester City? It's true but they are not the only ones interested in Asamoah. Fiorentina were among the first to show an interest in the player.
"But we have decided not to speak about Udinese's transfer market right now because it is premature.
"Udinese's strategy is to focus on the season right now.
"If the team continues to do so well and perhaps reach an important goal by the end of this season, then, Asamoah is likely to remain."
