Manchester City are spreading their net wide to find a creative midfield force.
Gazzetta dello Sport says City's offer for Udinese star Alexis Sanchez remains on the table - and they are still in the mix to land the Chilean.
Valencia winger Juan Mata is also the subject of interest.
And City have made contact with Arsenal over Cesc Fabregas. They have the spending power to meet Arsenal's £60 million asking price.
The stumbling is Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, who does not want to sell to a Premier League rival.
