Manchester City are ready to spend big to strengthen their attacking and midfield options for next season.

The Daily Mail says City plan to make a major splash this summer with attempts to land both Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish.

The Borussia Dortmund striker and Aston Villa captain are top of City's transfer wishlist as Pep Guardiola gears up to freshen his squad. The pair would be expected to cost close to £200 million — a strong display of intent by a club on the verge of sealing a third Premier League title in four seasons.

City were preparing to sign a new striker before Monday's announcement that record goalscorer Sergio Aguero will depart when his contract expires in June after 10 years' service.

Haaland, 20, has long been Guardiola's primary target as the team's next main striker and boasts an enviable scoring return this season, with 39 goals in 38 games for club and country.

Interest in Aston Villa captain Grealish, 25, has accelerated over the past few weeks and there is hope a deal can be struck with Villa despite his club's wealthy owners meaning they have no imperative to sell their skipper.

City's pursuit of him and Haaland suggests they are looking for a younger age profile of player.
