Roberto Mancini denies Eden Hazard talks

Roberto Mancini has refuted claims that Manchester City are prepared to table a bid for Lille playmaker Eden Hazard.

The 20-year-old's agent recently stated that the Premier League leaders were ready to put forward a January bid of £25m for the Belgian.

"No, this is not true," Mancini told Sky Sports News. "He is a good player but at this moment we have not spoken about him."

Hazard has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs and has also reportedly attracted interest from Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.
