Manchester City "like" Barcelona duo Sergio Busquets, Cesc Fabregas

Manchester City chief scout Carlo Cancellieri has hinted that the Premier League champions are interested in signing Barcelona duo Sergio Busquets and Cesc Fabregas.

The midfielders were recently linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium, but City released a statement claiming that they are not "planning to make an offer" for the Spanish pair.

"We like Busquets and Fabregas a lot, but Barcelona don't want to give these two players," Cancellieri told Tuttomercatoweb.com.

Cancellieri also revealed City's interest in signing Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao.
