SS Lazio chairman Lotito want to sign Roque Sant Cruz and yesterday conctacted his father in Paraguay! It means that we will sign very soon Alexander Kolarov. Who is this guy?
Here's some further news:

I ran the page through google-translate and Im still none the wiser (it does french translations reasonably well though)

If we're planning to offload Santa Cruz then we're definitely going after another striker as well

No Kolarov or Zarate:

Roberto Mancini has told the Italian media that Manchester City have “made no offer for Mauro Zarate or Aleksandar Kolarov.”

The Eastlands side has been linked with both Lazio stars over the summer transfer window, although they face competition over Kolarov from Inter and Real Madrid.


“At the moment there is nothing in it,” Mancini told Radio Incontro. “Kolarov is a great player, but for now we are looking at other objectives.”


There has been talk of a City bid worth around £19m for the full-back.


“It’s the first I’ve heard of it. The fact is that now City are regularly linked with any player on the market. Perhaps people want to use us to raise their price-tag.”


Zarate was another Lazio player said to be on Mancini’s wish-list for next season.


“The Argentine is an excellent player, even if this year he fell victim to an overall poor form at Lazio.


“For Zarate, as with Kolarov, we have made no offer, nor contacted the club.”

Ezequiel Matias Munoz.

Tuttomercato via babelfish of course:

Future in League Prime Minister for Ezequiel Matias Munoz. The defender of the Boca Juniors, considered one of the greatest talents of South American soccer, is to a step from the transfer to the Manchester City. The society of Roberto Mancini would have to adjudicate the player for a figure near 12mln of euro being struck the competition of the Fiorentina: Pantaleo Corvino already nell' past summer era arrived to a step dall' agreement with the player

[john@staustell]

The bad news is that after yesterday's meeting (agent/Barca) the club say they certainly wont be 'giving him away' and that the price is 35 million euros. City have offered 20-25 and there is a world of difference.

They say Yaya is a great player and they dont want to lose him, so no discounts!

I think we're in a funny situation this window.

We only want top players now, and their clubs dont actually want to sell them (Yaya, Dzeko, Silva). So we either pull out and stay within our 'valuation' and lose out, or we pay over the odds to clinch the deals. The flip side of course is that they all know we're loaded and if we really want someone it'll go on like Lescott until we stump up!
