The move has been authorised by owner Sheikh Mansour, according to a report in the News of the World.

City plan to make a number of major signings this summer in a bid to win the title next summer, and are desperate to finish fourth and qualify for the Champions League to further boost their ambitions.

Liverpool striker Ferdnando Torres and Barcelona star Zlatan Ibrahimovic are also believed to be on their wish list.
