Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is confident of wrapping up five new signings before Friday night’s transfer deadline.

Mancini went into the final hours of the transfer window with Jack Rodwell as his only capture of the summer.

But he is hoping to complete a deal for Benfica’s Spain international Javi Garcia, Fiorentina’s Serbian centre-back Matija Nastasic, Inter Milan defender Maicon, Swansea winger Scott Sinclair and back up goalkeeper Richard Wright.

The Italian has suggested his frustration that City have struggled to add new faces after winning a first title since 1968.

But he is optimistic about pulling off five late deals.

“Maicon, Garcia, Nastasic: We have another 10, 12 hours to close on these players. We need more time. I am confident,” Mancini said.

“I was frustrated as it is difficult to do everything in one week or 10 days, only this reason. Now I think we work very well in the last 10 days, two weeks.

“We need a goalkeeper with experience and Richard Wright is good for us.

“With Scott Sinclair, we are working, we are waiting. I think we have a good chance to close but we need to wait.

“I think that if we do Sinclair is the same position but like Adam (Johnson) but the difference is that Adam runs with the ball at his feet and Sinclair has the ball into space.

“Adam did very well for us, scoring goals, he played and I hope Sinclair can do like Adam or better.”

Mancini also expects Netherlands international midfielder Nigel de Jong to tie up a move to AC Milan before the window closes.

The Dutchman, 27, refused the offer of a new contract in the summer and, as the former Hamburg man only has one year remaining on his current deal, City have agreed to let him join the Italian club.

Mancini added: “Nigel has only one year left on his contract and this was the reason. I am sorry because Nigel was an important player for us but if he is happy, I am happy for him.

“I am sure he will do really well in the Italian championship.”
