Atletico Madrid move for Roma winger Mancini

Atletico Madrid are chasing Roma winger Mancini.

The Brazilian has long interested Spanish Liga clubs, with Valencia, Real Madrid and Barcelona all big admirers of the midfielder.
Atletico have already sounded out intermediaries about Mancini's availability and while he is contracted to Roma until 2009, the Madrid giants are convinced a bid of £8 million will land him.
Atletico already have agreed deals for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Tomas Rosicky and Getafe's left-sided winger Mariano Pernia. The priority now is a right-sided attacker, with Mancini top of their shopping list.
