Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed that he could have signed striker Fernando Torres from Liverpool two years ago.
The Italian says that he turned down the chance to add the 28-year-old to his squad before the Spain international eventually joined Chelsea for £50m in January 2011.
"Two years ago we had a chance of signing Torres but after the price became too high we decided on other players," The Mirror quotes him as saying.
"He's a good player. Every striker can have a difficult moment but for me he is always dangerous."
City will face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Sunday.
