DC: John Stones
Another promising England youngster who could be brought in by City, Everton centre-back John Stones has been linked with the club and would be an ideal long-term replacement for the over-the-hill Vincent Kompany.
DC: Eliaquim Mangala
After a tough first season, Eliaquim Mangala will surely fulfill his potential next term and become first choice for Pellegrini’s side.
MC: Yaya Toure
Despite links to Inter Milan, Yaya Toure is too important to let go and will surely be running the City midfield again next season.
MC: Paul Pogba
Brought in alongside Toure could be in-demand Juventus star Paul Pogba, who has the potential to become one of the best players in the world and who is also wanted by Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
