According to The Sun, City boss Roberto Mancini has handed over a list of targets to the board for the upcoming transfer window, with the Italian hitman high on his list.

With the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United already having been reportedly turned down in their bids to sign the front man, Mancini will not take 'no' for an answer.

The new Italian manager will use all of the City cash and connections he has with Sampdoria to land the player as early as the January transfer window.

With a goalscoring ratio of one goal for every two games, Pazzini has been a revelation in Serie A since his switch from Fiorentina only last January.
