As explained by Il Corriere dello Sport, Roberto Mancini was already thinking of Adem Ljajic when he was at Manchester City. “Sunday night he reiterated the esteem for the Roma player and put him in second place on the list of his desired signings for the last day of the transfer market. When the deal closed, he spoke to the boy, explaining how he intends to use him and what his role will be. He will not be a starter (Perisic, Icardi and Jovetic will are ahead of him…), but with his qualities one on one and his play-effect he can carve out an important space, maybe in a game in progress. Especially if he shows continuity. He will be in Milan today and will undergo a medical, then begin training with his new teammates tomorrow or Thursday. The beloved number 22, which he wore in Florence and in Rome, belongs to Dodò at Inter. The Brazilian and the Serb used to be teammates in the Capital: could a request of the shirt be on the way?”
