The Italian had made his interest in the forward known after Carlos Tevez revealed his desire to leave the club.<\/p>\nAnd despite Tevez\u2019s move to Corinthians failing to materialise, Mancini hopes Aguero, who says he wants to leave Atletico, can become City\u2019s latest summer signing.<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t know at the moment. The last news that I heard about Aguero was that the club was talking with Atletico Madrid before the weekend,” Mancini said.<\/p>\n
“I think that maybe in four or five days, before the next game, I think that in this week maybe we can close. Maybe.”<\/p>\n
He added: “Aguero played in Copa America. If we close the deal, I need to speak with him, because I want to know his opinion of playing in Manchester.”<\/p>\n
Mancini has not been able to get in touch with Tevez since he joined up with Argentina for the Copa America, but he expects his striker to return to face Manchester United in the Community Shield on August 7.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he comes back and his condition is good, maybe he can have a chance,\u201d said Mancini. \u201cHe has played in Copa America. And two weeks they players can\u2019t lose their condition. After one week, if they work only one week, he can find his condition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite Tevez publicly announcing he wants to leave City for family reasons, midfielder James Milner would be happy for his team-mate to stay at the club this summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s world-class players all over the field, all over the squad,\u201d said Milner. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be playing a lot of games again this year. We did last year. You know, that\u2019s what we want, competition all over the park.\u201d<\/p>\n
