It's a pretty reliable source, hopefully nothing is serious though. And he signs his contract extension as soon as possible.

Russians in £35m bid for Mancini! World Cup hosts want City boss for national team

Roberto Mancini has been offered £35million to manage World cup hosts Russia as contract talks with Manchester City drag into another week.
Sources in Russia claimed on Saturday night that Mancini had agreed to take over the national team in a six-year deal that would see him in charge when they host the World Cup in 2018.
But City quickly rebuffed the story, insisting the Italian will join club players at their preseason training camp in Austria on Sunday and that negotiations over a new contract would be 'concluded' positively in the week.

Victory: Russia want Premier League winner Roberto Mancini


Russia's desire to appoint a high-profile boss has led to an incredible tug-of-war over Mancini, who led city to their first league title since 1968 after a dramatic final day, and has just one year of his current deal remaining.
Russian sports website Sports.ru sensationally claimed Mancini would walk out next week after being given £6m a year by the Russian Football Federation.
However, City said on Saturday that they were confident their manager would re-sign for them after protracted discussions between lawyers on both sides for the past two months.

Huge bid: £35m could be Mancini's if he bites
Whatever the outcome, the Russian link strengthens Mancini's hand. He has been offered a three-year deal worth £5m a year by city but wants a longer term as well as guarantees over the control of transfer policy.
City's hierarchy appreciate Mancini's reputation is sky-high having delivered the Fa cup and Premier League title in successive seasons. But there is friction within the club over his growing power and there was unhappiness at the way he blocked a longer pre-season tour of Asia which would have boosted City's global profile.
The Russians would have to pay about £16m in compensation to land Mancini and that is only if the club allow him to leave.

Disappointment: Dick Advocaat (centre) could not get Russia out of the Euro 2012 groups
City sources tried to calm the anxieties of fans by saying: 'We're having our discussions on his contract that started at the end of the season.
'We think it'll conclude in the coming days, get sorted and signed off. He's definitely off to Austria on Sunday with the team, not Moscow!'
Mancini, nicknamed 'Bobby Manc' by supporters, clinched the Premier League title with a 3-2 win against QPR on the final day last season.
Russia believe they have the money and clout to be a major international force in football and have also been linked with ex-Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola as they seek a replacement for Dick Advocaat, who was a flop at the Euro 2012 finals.
