Manchester City to buy in January

If we are to believe Goal.com then, Mancini has been told he will have an astonishing £100 million transfer kitty at his disposal in January.

"The Italian was informed in a conference call with the club’s billionaire owner Sheikh Mansour and chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak eight days ago that he will be backed to the hilt in the next window.

The 24-year-old's camp were guests of City for the Manchester derby on Wednesday night and were also shown around the club's training ground this week, but City face competition from Juventus, who are keen to bolster their strike force and have significant funds at their disposal."
