City are my first choice, says Inter striker

Adriano says he is keen to join Manchester City in January and could move in an exchange deal with unsettled Italian forward Rolando Bianchi.

Despite only joining the Sven revolution in the summer and scoring on his debut Bianchi has been openly unhappy at his failure to secure a starting place at Eastlands.

Adriano was linked with a move to join Sven Goran Eriksson in the summer and the Inter forward told the News of the World: "I have spoken to the club and I am moving on in January.

He continued: "My first choice is Manchester City and Eriksson, and I know Inter like Bianchi."
