City chase Brazilian starlet?

Manchester City are believed to be tracking teenage sensation Leo Bonatini.

The 17-year-old is reportedly stalling on a new contract with his club side Cruzeiro and talkSPORT have reported that Roberto Mancini could be poised to make a move.

Bonatini, who is highly rated in his native Brazil, could be available on a free transfer in December if the situation is not resolved.

However, it has now been reported that Cruzeiro will be willing to listen to an offer that includes a swap for Roque Santa Cruz.

Juventus are also said to be interested in the young forward, who was part of Brazil's triumphant South American Under-17 Football Championship side.
