Man City Transfers: 5 Strikers Manuel Pellegrini Could Sign Now Falcao Is Unavailable

2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic

If City wanted to go one better and land Ligue 1's top goalscorer rather than its second, then a move for Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be on the cards. The Swedish international scored a remarkable 30 goals in 35 league appearances for Paris Saint-Germain this season and 35 in 46 overall games across all competitions, as well as providing 9 assists. His goals helped fire Carlo Ancelotti's side to their first French championship in 19 years and the star refused to rule out a move to City recently, despite having only just signed for the French outfit last summer from AC Milan. The former Barcelona ace has shown no signs of losing his lethal touch inside the box despite the fact he's now 31, as 42 goals in 61 appearances for AC Milan between 2010-12 will attest for. And if PSG are serious about accommodating Manchester United's Wayne Rooney by making space for the England international in their starting XI, Ibrahimovic's move could be hastened.
