The future of Fernando Torres continues to be in some doubt after weekend reports that Chelsea are planning a £60m move for the Spanish international.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has also expressed further interest in the Liverpool striker who manager Roy Hodgson fears he could struggle to hang on to.
Jerome Boateng, Aleksandar Kolarov, Yaya Toure and David Silva have already joined the City revolution but Mancini's recruitment drive is far from over and the Italian has indicated a move for Torres could be on the cards.
"Torres is one of the best strikers in Europe and is already playing in the Premier League for three years and knows it very well. But it depends on his situation - his price and whether he wants to come," the Italian said.
"There are two or three strikers that we could go for, but it is the same situation as it is with James Milner. First there is the price and then it depends if the players want to change team. Until today, Liverpool haven't bought many players."
Aston Villa midfielder Milner, who was linked with Spurs at the weekend, continues to interest Mancini but he insists the club will not be held to ransom.
"When Manchester City inquire about a £10million player, the club asks for £20million. That is not good for us," said Mancini. "James is still a player who interests us but only at the right price."
