Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed his interest in Palermo midfielder Javier Pastore.
Mancini also revealed he's keen on Pastore's former Palermo teammate Edinson Cavani, now starring with Napoli.
"Palermo president (Maurizio) Zamparini said he received a call from City about Pastore, but could not answer because he doesn't speak English? This means that it was not me on the phone!" joked Mancini on Premium Calcio.
"Otherwise, I would have spoken to him in Italian: City are interested in good players and Pastore and Cavani are as good as many others."
