Agent Silva's Cesc mission
Posted Friday, May 13, 2011 by The Sun
ROBERTO MANCINI has called on David Silva to help him in his mission to bring Cesc Fabregas to Eastlands.
SunSport revealed on Wednesday how Manchester City boss Mancini had made Arsenal skipper Fabregas, 24, his No 1 priority signing.
The Italian believes that Fabregas is the key to City pushing on from their Champions League qualifying place to winning the Premier League title.
Silva, signed for £24million from Valencia last year, is a good friend of Fabregas and a fellow member of the Spain side.
We can reveal Mancini has had discussions with his 'Special Agent' Silva, 25, over launching a £40m move for Fabregas and asked him to provide any input he can.
Both Barcelona, where midfielder Fabregas played as a junior, and rivals Real Madrid want Fabregas but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is adamant he will not leave.
He said: "We are not interested in selling our best players."
But there is a feeling around the Emirates that it might be time for Fabregas and Arsenal to part company.
Fabregas was talked out of leaving last summer by Wenger - but another season without a trophy may be the final straw.
