Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini wants to complete a deal for Fiorentina winger Alessio Cerci in the coming days.
The Daily Star says Cerci is valued at around £6 million.
But Mancini is confident of landing the 24-year-old for as little as £3m after he made it clear he wants to quit the Italian club.
He said: "We need two or three more players."
