Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is set to suffer another transfer blow.

The Daily Mail says City are set for some bad news on Tuesday with transfer target Daniele De Rossi due to hold a press conference and reveal his intention to stay at AS Roma.

The tough-tackling midfielder, who was part of the Italy side that knocked England out of Euro 2012 and also scored against the Three Lions in last week's friendly, is a long-term target of City boss Roberto Mancini.
