With that in mind, here’s how City could line up next season if they sign their top targets, with Manuel Pellegrini building a very strong-looking team to try and wrestle back the Premier League title:
GK: Joe Hart
One of few players to emerge with real credit this season, Joe Hart has been world class for Manchester City and deserves to remain their first choice goalkeeper.
DR: Pablo Zabaleta
A fine right-back, Pablo Zabaleta is another top performer who does not need replacing anytime soon.
DL: Aleksandar Kolarov
Despite having his critics, Aleksandar Kolarov looks City’s best option at left-back at the moment and should stay a key player next season.

DC: Eliaquim Mangala
A promising young talent who has had a difficult first season, Eliaquim Mangala should improve greatly for City next season.
DC: John Stones
Wanted by both City and Chelsea, Everton youngster John Stones looks a great young centre-back who could be the ideal long-term replacement for Vincent Kompany.
MC: Yaya Toure
A superb player City have to try to keep, Yaya Toure is wanted by Inter Milan but could still play a crucial role for the club next term.
MC: Paul Pogba
Wanted by every top club in Europe, Juventus star Paul Pogba is also on City’s radar and would be a superb signing to improve their midfield options.
AMR: Raheem Sterling
Another exciting young talent, Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling looks set to leave this summer and is a top priority target for City, who are favourites to snap him up.
AML: David Silva
Still a key player for City, David Silva has had a fine season at the Etihad Stadium despite some poor results overall.
AMC: Kevin De Bruyne
One of the best attacking midfiders in Europe this season, Kevin De Bruyne has been world class for Wolfsburg and is now another top target to improve City’s squad for next season.
FC: Sergio Aguero
Remaining the main man up front, top scorer Sergio Aguero could shine next season with improved players behind him.
