Mancini is not interested in signing Luis Suarez

Roberto Mancini has rubbished suggestions that Manchester City are lining up a January bid for Luis Suarez.

Reports in the press on Thursday suggested the Premier League champions would try to lure the Liverpool striker away from Anfield when the transfer window re-opens.

Brendan Rodgers quickly dismissed the rumours and Mancini has supported the Liverpool manager’s claims.

“It is not true, I don’t know,” said the Italian. “We have a good team and we don’t need to buy another player in January.

“We can’t buy Suarez or another player because we have four strikers and Suarez plays for Liverpool.”

Mancini says he is tiring of speculation surrounding his own future at the club as well as constant rumours of which players are coming in or out of the Etihad Stadium.

“For two weeks we talk about Monaco, after (Pep) Guardiola, after another manager, now Suarez, now Mario Balotelli.”
