Roberto Mancini expects new additions to Inter Milan in January, but he realizes it won't be in the form of expensive transfers.

"It [FFP] does represent a big problem," he told Sky Sport Italia. "So we must do well in scouting to get ahead of big clubs who can afford top transfer fees.

"Inter have doing this for years and I think we need the courage to invest on strong young players, such as Mateo Kovacic.

"I hope it won't happen but we might have to sacrifice some big players to reach other targets.

"Inter need better players in certain areas of the team where we are lacking something.

"I don't know how long a road it will be. Inter started the campaign with certain objectives and it will be difficult to get into the Champions League, but we're not so far off."
