If Roberto Mancini wants to make a move for Manchester City’s Serbian defender Matija Nastasic he will have to hurry up.

According to reports in the British tabloid the Daily Express, Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04 are preparing an offer of € 17 Million to hijack Roberto Mancini signing the player he brought to the Eastlands from Fiorentina when he was in charge of the Citizens. The Express reports further that City intend to use the proceeds from the Nastasic transfer to sign Wilfried Bony of Swansea.
