Mancini urged to sign Chelsea target Falcao

 
20 October 2012

Manchester City’s chief scout has urged Roberto Mancini to sign Chelsea target Radamel Falcao in January.

The Atletico Madrid striker has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge but Carlo Cancellieri said: “If we were to take a player in January, we should take Falcao. I spoke about him in recent days with Roberto Mancini.

“He is an important player, the only one who could make us take the leap.”

Manchester City are also interested in Fiorentina’s Steven Jovetic but Cancellieri said: “He is an interesting player, he has quality. But in attack City are already good, we're happy with Tevez, Aguero and Balotelli.

"Moreover, I believe that our players are better than Jovetic. He is a very good player, but he is not one who could make a difference such as Falcao.”
