Manchester City are making a move this week to trump Chelsea for free agent Didier Drogba. City need to find cover for Alvaro Negredo, who has a metatarsal injury which could sideline him for the first-half of the season.
The Daily Star says it is understood Pellegrini could turn to veteran star Drogba as he looks to lure a top class goalscorer to the Etihad Stadium..
Former Chelsea star Drogba is considering a return to Stamford Bridge after leaving Galatasaray at the end of last season.
He is understood to have a number of options on the table and will make a decision on his future this week.
