Manchester City are interested in signing Sassuolo forward Domenico Berardi, according to the player's agent.
The 18-year-old, who has scored three goals in 10 Serie B appearances this season, is also said to be on the radar of Italian giants Juventus and Roma.
"Juventus, Roma and Manchester City seeking Berardi? These are not rumours - this is real interest," agent Giuseppe Galli told tuttojuve.com.
"During recent weeks these clubs have sent observers to see Sassuolo's matches on many occasions.
"Manchester City's scouts have often come from England."
Berardi has represented Italy at Under-19 level.
