Man City boss keen to land Aguero and Nasri

City have long been linked with the pair. Mancini is keen to bring in Aguero as a replacement for Carlos Tevez, who has been linked with a move away from the club.

“At the moment I am waiting because if we lose Carlos, Aguero is a player that can play for Manchester City because he is young, because he is a good player like Carlos, he can score a lot of goals and can play with Mario (Balotelli), with Edin (Dzeko),” Mancini told Sky Sports News.

When asked if City were likely to make a bid for Aguero, Mancini said: “It is probably yes. I think in this moment we only have to wait.”

“Samir is under contract with Arsenal. Also for Samir it depends on many things,” added Mancini when asked about Nasri.

When asked if City had made a bid for Nasri, Mancini said: “I don’t know in this moment, I don’t know the situation but for Nasri it is difficult.

“I hope that we can buy because we need other players and I hope that this player can arrive before the end of the month.”
