Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona defender Adriano at the end of the season.
City boss Roberto Mancini wants to bring in players with Champions League experience, according to Sport, as he prepares for a busy campaign next season.
The 27-year-old has failed to hold down a regular spot in the Catalans side this season, with Bayern Munich and Juventus also understood to be in the running.
Adriano joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2010.
