ROBERTO MANCINI is ready to move for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. The Manchester City boss will battle it out with Chelsea for the £50million-rated star.
The Italian has been encouraged by Kop boss Roy Hodgson revealing Spanish World Cup winner Torres has a 'beef with the Anfield club. Mancini said: "Torres is one of the best strikers in Europe and is already playing in the Premier League for three years and knows it very well.
"But it depends on his situation, his price and if he wants to come.
"There are two or three strikers we could go for.
"The choices we have are fantastic players."
Other frontmen Mancini fancies include Wolfsburg's Bosnian ace Edin Dzeko and 19-year-old Mario Balotelli of Inter Milan.
Last week, Didier Drogba's agent Thierno Seydi claimed to have had direct talks with City about signing the Chelsea star.
