Manchester City are looking at signing Greek international Vasilis Torosidis. The Olympiakos defender could make a move to Eastlands next summer according to his agent. The 24 year-old has been linked with Liverpool, Sunderland and Blackburn.
Sunderland made an inquiry about Torosidis but decided to pull out when they discovered Olympiakos’ asking price. However City won’t be deterred by his valuation of £6million.
Torosidis’ agent has revealed the full-back would welcome a move to the Premier League. And City were scouting Torosidis before Mancini arrived at the club. The former Inter boss didn’t make a move for the Greek ace in January because he didn’t know enough about him.
Kazianis told skysports: “The possibilities for Vasilis to play football in England for a Premier League club are good because I have had contact in the last 20 days with Manchester City. City called us and asked a few things about Torosidis. They showed real interest and they told us that they will keep their eye on Vasilis during the World Cup.
“They know him very well but since Roberto Mancini didn’t know the player very well, they decided not to do anything in January. They told us that they will keep watching him until the World Cup and we will speak again in the summer”
