Manchester City scout Atilio Lombardo admits they're desperate to win the race for Udinese star Alexis Sanchez.
They face fierce competition from Manchester United and Barcelona but are confident they will get their man.
City coach Lombardo said: "Sanchez is an excellent player for any big club in Europe.
"He is a very fast player, a great champion, with a great personality and touch of the ball. He would be a major boost for any team.
"Manchester City are always aware of what's happening around great players and Sanchez fits our profile.
"We want a great team with great players."
