The Blues are targeting homegrown players as well as some from further afield, but which individual should Manuel Pellegrini be doing all he can to bring to the Etihad Stadium?
The way in which Manchester City surrendered its Premier League title has led to Manuel Pellegrini planning a number of new signings at the Etihad Stadium ahead of the new season.
James Milner, Dedryck Boyata and Micah Richards have already left the Blues, meaning homegrown players are at the top of Pellegrini's shopping list this summer.
Raheem Sterling remains the club's main target as it prepares a third bid of around 45 million pounds for the Liverpool winger while Arsenal's Jack Wilshere also is on the radar because of the competition for places at the Emirates Stadium.
