Manchester City turn their attentions to Juventus star Vidal

Manchester City are ready to turn their attentions to Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal after missing out on Roma's Daniele De Rossi this summer.
Manager Roberto Mancini is a huge admirer of the Chile international but the Premier League champions may have a fight on their hands with Juventus reluctant to sell one of their key men.

"Mancini loves this guy to death and has briefed owners about him,” a source told Goal.com. "There was talk last summer Tevez or Dzeko might have been involved, but Juve wanted silly money."

The 25-year-old has already attracted the attentions of Real Madrid after impressing in his first season with the Serie A champions following his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen, meaning City could be set for more transfer frustration.

As exclusively revealed by Goal.com back in August, the Premier League champions chased De Rossi this summer and were ready with a £31 million offer only for the player to snub the chance of a move to the Etihad.

Roma later claimed that the Premier League champions had offered £80 million for the Italian international in a summer in which they also brought in midfielders Jack Rodwell, Javi Garcia and Scott Sinclair.

Once you're hooked by the fraudulent warning, the advertisements redirect you to a page trying to sell you anti-virus software for $40 to $60 a pop. According to the government, "more than a million" were victims of Ross's scam. And g...

Xavi: I would be delighted to score a hat-trick against Real Madrid

Barcelona midfielder Xavi has stated that netting a hat-trick in Sunday's Primera Division match at home against arch-rivals Real Madrid would be a dream come true. The 32-year-old has won numerous trophies both at club and international level, but still awaits his first hat-trick, and he sees the Clasico as the perfect opportunity for yet another milestone. "Is there something I have left to do? Scoring a hat-trick... I would be delighted to score one against Madrid," Xavi smiled at a press conference. "We're not really thinking about whether a win would worsen the problems in Madrid's squad. We are focussed on winning, which would be good for our morale." The influential playmaker then went on to discuss the situation of injured players such as Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol and Eric Abidal, who is continuing his recovery from a liver transplant earlier this year.
