4. Davide Astori
Perhaps City's radar look more east than Spain and instead dip into Serie A, and more specifically Cagliari, for the 26 year old nomadic defender Davide Astori. So far in his 5 year career at the Sicilian club, he has accrued 140 appearances and scored 3, and despite interest from
Spartak Moscow, Astori has remained loyal and will remain in Italy, stating he wants to achieve all his goals before moving on. However, Cagliari's status as a club that isn't a prolific achiever leads us to think what goals he wants to achieve. Certainly, a World Cup call up would be an absolute dream for him and possibly he may need to venture to pastures new in order to grab the attention of Cesare Prandelli. So, a move to City could become the perfect stage to do this.
