Galatasaray are reportedly ready to listen to offers for Dutch international Wesley Sneijder and Chelsea are known to be interested in the experienced Dutch international.
Jose Mourinho is still good friends with his former Inter Milan charge, who helped lead the San Siro side to a glorious treble in his first season at the club.
Mancini is keen to conduct an overhaul of the squad he inherited from Fatih Terim but is at the limit of his allotted foreign player quota and as such may feel that selling Sneijder could act as a a means to an end.
Sneijder moved to Galatasaray in January and has scored five goals in 23 appearances, helping the club to a Super Lig title last term as well as having a hand in guiding Gala to the Champions League quarter-finals.
