MANCHESTER CITY will be expected to be very active over the upcoming summer transfer window in their quest to re-emerge as a world football powerhouse again.


The 2012-13 season hasn't gone according to plan for the English giants, but with a strong squad and the ability to sign a number of key players over the transfer window, Roberto Mancini's men are primed to launch a very strong season in 2014 and achieve some great success as a result of that.


City will have their eyes on a number of players this summer and will look to make several moves. But who are the names that could be on their way to the Etihad?


Read on to see a complete summer wish list for the Citizens, with a player from every area of the field listed here. If City were to sign one player from every area (and I'm not saying they will, I'm merely just speculating), these are the fives names that they'd want to bring to Manchester this summer.


Let's take a look who those five players are.

Fernandinho wants Man City move



Shakhtar Donetsk star Fernandinho has intimated he desires a move to Manchester City, viewing the potential transfer as a way to enhance his 2014 World Cup chances.

Fernandinho has been heavily linked with City in recent weeks, but Shakhtar boss Mircea Lucescu has warned the Premier League club that the Brazilian will not be released for less than €50 million.

In the strongest indication that the deal will go ahead this summer, though, the playmaker has stated he must leave the Ukraine in order to make a mark for his national team.

"I believe my chances of making the World Cup squad will improve if I join City," he is quoted as saying in the Sun.

"My exposure would be better, because Brazil is biased towards the Ukrainian league. What we do here is not recognised in my country. Playing in a division, at a club that is considered among the best in the world would help me get back in the Brazilian national team.

"There are a lot of people in England with good football knowledge. Those complement my skills, and motivate me to want to play in the Premier League."

Fernandinho and his Shakhtar team-mates last week clinched their fourth consecutive domestic league title, their eighth since the 2001-02 season.
