Roberto Mancini has admitted that Inter Milan has interest in Liverpool's Lucas Leiva and Atlético Madrid's Alessio Cerci as the winter transfer market approaches.

Mancini returned to the San Siro in November to replace the sacked Walter Mazzarri for his second spell in charge of the Nerazzurri, and has emphasised the need to invest in a side which heads into 2015 lying 11th in Serie A.
