Manchester City boss,Roberto Mancini, remains keen on taking Alessio Cerci to Manchester City, but admits he faces a battle to lure him away from Fiorentina.
The 24-year-old winger is regarded as one of Serie A's hottest properties, with his playmaking abilities making him a useful addition to any side.
City were keen to add him to their ranks last season, but saw Fiorentina pip them to his signature.
Mancini was prepared to make a second approach this year, but was again forced to back off once it became clear that the Viola had no intention of selling.
The Blues boss has refused to rule out a fresh raid in the future, though, with Cerci a player he believes is destined for the very top.
"I have followed him since the 2007/08 season when he was on loan at Pisa from Roma," Mancini told Corriere dello Sport.
"Cerci had just turned 20 but he immediately struck me as an extraordinary talent. He is one of only a few players in the world who can win a game by himself, one that can solve everything.
