Manchester City have joined Manchester United and Liverpool in their interest for Napoli midfielder Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has confirmed contact with Liverpool intermediaries, while it emerged earlier this week that United had been in talks with Lavezzi's agent, Alejandro Mazzoni.

Meanwhile, Il Mattino says City are willing to offer Lavezzi £3 million-a-year to bring him to Eastlands and Mazzoni is flying to England to hold talks with the big-spending Premiership club.
