Roberto Mancini has hailed Sergio Aguero as the man to help fill the Manchester City trophy cabinet – but he insists that, if he gets his way, the Blues' summer spending isn’t over yet.

Mancini has splashed out more than £50 million on Aguero, Gael Clichy and Stefan Savic this summer. But he says that if his team are to make an impact in the Champions League next season, Aguero can’t be the last new arrival before the transfer window shuts on August 31.

“Aguero is here because we think he is a top player and he can have a big future at the club,” said Mancini.

“Sergio is a really top player because he is young, but he has also scored a lot of goals. I think he can score more goals for us and help us win trophies.”

He added: “If we want to compete with all the other top teams in the Champions League we need other players. We need one midfielder and one winger.”

That could change if Carlos Tevez manages to engineer a move away from the Etihad Stadium. Mancini believes he has the strike force necessary to challenge at home and abroad next season – but only if Tevez stays.

“At the moment Carlos is a City player,” said Mancini, who will come face to face with the want-away striker when he reports back to Carrington on August 4.

“Carlos is an important player for us but I don’t know what can happen.”

He added: “A top squad needs to have four good strikers because this season we will play in the Champions League, FA Cup, Carling Cup and the Premier League.

“Aguero can play with Edin Dzeko, he can play with Mario Balotelli and he can play with Carlos. We need to have four strikers and at the moment we do. If Carlos stays, I’m happy.”

Aguero spoke to Tevez before making the move from Atletico Madrid, but says he doesn’t care if he stays or goes.

“I spoke to Carlos,” said Aguero. “He’s a good friend. I will adapt to the team either way. If he’s here, I’ll adapt and play with him.

“We are good friends and we have played together in the national team. Of course it is down to him, whatever he wants to do. I just want to concentrate on playing here.

“I’m very happy to be here,” added Aguero, who revealed he canvassed opinion from father-in-law Diego Maradona before agreeing to the £35 million switch.

“I’m enjoying my time with my colleagues. I’m looking forward to starting playing and moving forward, that’s what we all want to do.

“They are a great team with great players and I think I am playing with one of the best English teams. There are many things that can be achieved. I always play to win titles and hopefully I can do that here.”

Meanwhile, Tevez’s hopes of escaping Manchester for Milan have been dealt a blow after Inter manager Gian Piero Gasperini dismissed suggestions the Nerazzurri would look to discuss a move when the two teams meet in the Dublin Cup this weekend.

“There’s no need to discuss what is happening in the market at the moment,” said Gasperini.

“We are all aware that the media is interested in what is happening off the pitch.

“But we are here to play a match and continue our preparation for the matches to come. As with any great player there is always a lot of interest. It’s normal that big clubs talk about important players.

“The transfer window is still open but what is important is the reality of things, and the reality is that Carlos Tevez is with Manchester City.”
