Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is prepared to say goodbye to several of last season's title winners this summer.
The Daily Mail says City want to be more proactive this summer after losing their title to neighbours Manchester United.
Doubts hang over several players' futures - Samir Nasri, Gareth Barry, Joleon Lescott and Edin Dzeko, who has interested Juventus and Napoli.
Manager Roberto Mancini wants five new players, with Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and Tottenham's Gareth Bale among his top targets, but the Welshman is unlikely to head to Eastlands.
