The City will initially battle Chelsea, Real Madrid and Liverpool for Jude Bellingham, the Borussia Dortmund player who is now the backbone of any midfield.
Borussia Dortmund are unwilling to part with him for less than €100 million, and City have serious competition in their bid to sign the British midfielder.
At the same time, Pep Guardiola’s side have targeted Ben Chilwell, the Chelsea international who has suffered a serious injury and is expected to return after the 2023/24 season.
In addition, the title champion of England does not let Declan Rice, the captain of West Ham United, out of his sight.
The 24-year-old is wanted by Arsenal and Chelsea and has a market value of around €80 million, according to Transfermarkt.
According to the same source, Rafael Leao is another top target for Manchester City. The Portuguese is yet to renew his contract with Milan and is a player who has attracted the attention of several clubs.
