Roberto Mancini has declared that midfielder Daniele De Rossi would be 'absolutely perfect' for Manchester City.
De Rossi
is under contract with Roma
for one more year but the Italian club announced earlier this week they were hopeful of agreeing an extension in the next few days.
Mancini admits there is a good chance the 28-year-old will remain at the Stadio Olimpico but has made no secret of his admiration for the player, saying he would still like to sign another midfielder despite the imminent arrival of Samir Nasri.
"I need something else in midfield because we have limited options," said Mancini in The Sun.
"I have Barry,
De Jong, Milner and Toure - but if you consider the number of games in the league, the Champions League and the FA Cup that is not enough.
"Daniele De Rossi would be absolutely perfect for this team and I rate him as one of the best midfielders in the world.
"But I also have the suspicion that he will stay in Rome his entire career, just like Francesco Totti
has done."
