Roma defender Marco Motta could be on his way to Manchester City, according to the club's sporting director. The 23-year-old right-back has fallen out of favour with Claudio Ranieri at the Stadio Olimpico and City boss Roberto Mancini is reportedly interested in capturing the Italian. Roma sporting director Daniele Prade admits a deal could be done, although there are a few possible snags in any potential transfer. "I spoke with Giuseppe Bozzo, agent of Motta, who confirmed the interest of Manchester City," he told Sky Italia. "There is a possibility of a loan but I have not yet spoken with the English club. "There are some things to consider because the player is in a co-ownership between Roma and Udinese."
