The club are reported to have agreed a fee with Italian club Fiorentina, with
current City
defender Stefan Savic moving in the opposite direction.
Nastasic, 19, has only spent one season at Fiorentina, making 25 appearances
as his side finished 13th in Serie A. At international level he plays
alongside Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic.
City's Italian manager Mancini has been tracking the player for some time and
is thought to see him as a better prospect than Savic.
Montenegrin Savic, who started the Community Shield tie against Chelsea but
has otherwise struggled to make the first team, signed for City from
Partisan Belgrade in July 2011 - the summer that Nastasic moved from the
same club to Fiorentina.
After a 2-2 draw against Liverpool on Sunday, Mancini said that his side
needed to improve their defensive performances.
