Eastlands club want to bring in Roma duo as Manchester City transfer rumour picks up traction

Per a report from the Daily Mail via TribalFootball.com, City boss Roberto Mancini and various organizational scouts are keeping transfer-target tabs on two AS Roma footballers: 20-year-old Argentine winger Erik Lamela and 18-year-old Brazilian centre back Marquinhos.

Lamela, a member of the Argentina national football team who has seen action in a football friendly with Paraguay, would continue City's run of bringing top-level Argentine footballers to the Etihad.

Brazilians, on the other hand, have not fared as well with the Eastlands side.

What you think? Does this rumour have legs?
