Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has admitted that it would be difficult to sign Lille playmaker Eden Hazard.
The 21-year-old has been linked to a number of top European sides in recent months, including City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid.
"Hazard has an enormous level of talent and is able to play at the maximum level," Mancini is quoted as saying by French magazine Le 10 Sport. "But we know there is interest from the big European clubs and any deal will not be easy."
The Belgian has scored eight goals in 21 games for the French side this season.
