Man City Transfers: Predicting Manuel Pellegrini's 5 August Signings

3. David Pizarro

Pizarro With Gareth Barry set to leave this summer, Pellegrini could be looking at bringing in an experienced central-midfielder this summer. Barry looks set to call time on his four-year stay at the Etihad and, with just a year remaining on his current contract, has been tipped with a return to Aston Villa. City have just signed Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho while they also have Yaya Toure to call upon in centre-midfield but Pellegrini still wants to bring Pizarro back to the Etihad this summer, according to the Metro. Pizarro had a stint at the Etihad on loan after signing last January but has since returned to Italy, now playing for Fiorentina. But Pellegrini is a big fan and is looking to add more depth to his midfield this season.
