Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini claims a deal is in place to bring Stefan Savic to England.[LNB] The Blues have been chasing the FK Partisan defender since the end of the 2010/11 campaign, with his obvious potential drawing admiring glances from across Europe.[LNB]At just 20 years of age, the Montenegro international is regarded as a hot prospect for the future and a number of sides have expressed an interest in acquiring his services.[LNB]City, though, appear to have edged out their rivals in that particular pursuit, with an agreement to bring him to Eastlands almost sealed.[LNB]Mancini has confirmed that Savic is close to completing a move, while he has also admitted to being in the running to land Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri.[LNB]He said: "I would say a deal for Savic has been done, but Nasri? No, not yet."[LNB]City's Italian coach has also speculated on further new arrivals at Eastlands, with a number of Serie A's leading lights catching his eye.[LNB]Mancini added: "I like Ezequiel Lavezzi, Marek Hamsik and Edinson Cavani.[LNB]"I like Javier Pastore a little less.[LNB]"When I think of Udinese, I can think of Pable Armero and Mauricio Isla.[LNB]"And I must say Antonio Di Natale. It's a pity that he is now getting on in years.[LNB]"I also liked Radja Nainggolan of Cagliari.[LNB]"Of course, I did not mention the Inter boys for whom I have a weakness. I think the ones I coached are great players."
