Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says striker Jo could have a future at the Eastlands.
Only Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli and Emmanuel Adebayor are ahead of Jo in the striker's pecking order and Mancini admits he is a fan of the three-cap Brazil international.
"I believe Jo is a good striker," he said.
"I remember him when he played for CSKA Moscow and I was in charge of Inter Milan. He is a good player."
