Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was intent on capturing Mathieu Flamini and Giorgio Chiellini, but has now admitted that it is "impossible" to secure deals for the pair.
Big spenders City have been constantly linked with the Serie A pair in recent weeks as Mancini continues to further bolster his squad with the Eastlands outfit chasing a top-four finish in the Premier League.
"Flamini is a good player," Mancini told Manchester Evening News.
"But he is part of a AC Milan side who are doing very well in Serie A at the moment. They are only six points behind Inter.
"I don't think he would want to leave that at the moment. For me, Chiellini and Flamini are impossible.
"I think it's impossible Chiellini will leave Juventus, because he's their best defender right now. He's the best defender in Italy, probably."
