Manchester City continues to look at more attacking talent to boost their chances of repeating as English Premier League champion’s next season.

Manchester City have been warned it will cost them up to £30million to land Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente this summer.The Spain international is on a list of possible targets if Roberto Mancini fails to bag Arsenal’s Robin van Persie during the close season.

The latest big name on their target list for the summer is Athletic Bilbao’s Spanish giant, Fernando Llorente. At 6’5” Llorente is a daunting task player to defend in the air, but he is just as impressive with the ball at his feet which makes him extremely valuable. Manchester City are on the verge of making a move for the player in which they are said to be offering £29 million for the Spanish international.

Bilboa president Josu Urrutia said: “He is a key player and we would not accept less.

“The supporters would not accept this.”

Llorente, who scored 24 goals last season, is refusing to talk about his future while he remains part of Vicente del Bosque’s squad at the Euros. City are preparing to shuffle their strikers this summer as they hunt buyers for Emmanuel Adebayor and Roque Santa Cruz.

They will also listen to offers for Bayern Munich target Edin Dzeko — but Carlos Tevez has indicated he would be happy to stay at the Etihad.

The Eastland’s club is set to go after the 27-year-old sensation.
