Agent: Manchester City want Gaston Ramirez

The agent of Bologna midfielder Gaston Ramirez has claimed that Manchester City are among a host of clubs interested in his client's services.

Ramirez's impressive performances over the past couple of seasons in Serie A have attracted attention from a number of Europe's top sides.

His representative, Pablo Betancourt, has confirmed that an offer has already been lodged by German outfit Wolfsburg but also said that City, Italian champions Juventus and an unnamed Spanish club are in the hunt for his signature.

"I can confirm that Juventus and Manchester City have contacted me to show an interest," Betancourt told calciomercato.com.

"But there is especially an interesting offer from Wolfsburg and also another one from an important Spanish club.

"I think, considering all the offers, the possibility that he could leave this summer could happen."

The 21-year-old Uruguayan netted eight times in 34 appearances for Bologna this season.
