Peruvian midfielder Roberto Merino is a target for Manchester City.

Salernitana star Merino's agent, Jose Alberti, told Mediagol: "He is the kind of player that forces the defending team to pick up at least four bookings per game because he is really fantastic.

" Right now he has received an offer from Manchester City and another one from one of the clubs that want him.

"We have been contacted by Fiorentina, and wearing the purple shirt next season would be an honour for Merino. He is really a little Maradona."
