Roberto Mancini has remained coy on speculation linking Manchester City with a move for Arsenal captain Robin van Persie this summer.
The Dutch international's future at the Emirates Stadium has been the subject of much talk in recent weeks, particularly as his contract has just 12 months remaining.
City are said to be big admirers of the striker, with some reports claiming that they are ready to submit an offer of around £25m.
However, Mancini does not expect Van Persie, nor any other player to be arriving at the Etihad Stadium imminently.
"Van Persie? He is an Arsenal player and I don't want to disrespect Wenger," Mancini told Sky Sport Italia. "We have four strikers and we will start the pre-season in five days, it's unlikely there will be major changes in such a short time."
Van Persie has also been linked with Juventus and Barcelona.
