3) Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
A player the Telegraph claim is still on City’s radar, despite BBC Sport confirming that the club saw a second bid rejected for the Liverpool forward, Raheem Sterling would be another fine addition to the squad at the Etihad Stadium. It is not yet clear if he would be targeted alongside De Bruyne or as an alternative, but the England international has a similar level of creativity and skill from attacking midfield to add something to a City squad that has gone stale.
