Manchester City are planning to make five major summer signings for next season.
The Manchester Evening News says the Blues are looking to add a couple of marquee names - with flying Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez and Wesley Sneijder high on the list - and then two or three less glamorous players.
City are monitoring developments with Ajax defenders Jan Vertonghen and Gregory van der Wiel and Bolton's Gary Cahill.
Roberto Mancini has also said that if Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Barcelona star on loan at AC Milan, changes his mind about not wanting to join City, he would "find room" for him at City, but that possible deal is one that might have come off last year but is now dead in the water.
