City set to ditch Cavani chase to secure Isco

Manchester City are set to ditch their bid for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani to make sure they capture brilliant Spain Under-21 star Isco.

Manchester City are poised to pull out of the chase for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and focus their fire on brilliant Spain Under-21 star Isco.

The Blues have baulked at the £53million asking price for Uruguay star Cavani, and are preparing to leave the field clear for the striker to join Real Madrid.

And they hope that will exhaust Madrid’s transfer budget for the summer, and leave them as firm favourites to grab £30m-rated Isco, who helped Spain become European Under-21 champions on Wednesday night.

New boss Manuel Pellegrini has told City chief executive Ferran Soriano and football director Txiki Begiristain that he believes Edin Dzeko could thrive in the system he intends to introduce at City.

And that means the pursuit of Cavani has cooled, although City will still monitor the availability of a man who has scored 104 goals in the last three seasons.

The Blues are banking on the belief that Madrid – who also want Gareth Bale – cannot afford all three players in a summer where economic austerity is sweeping Spain, and with UEFA’s financial fair play rules set to kick in this season.

It means City are rapidly giving up on the idea that they could bag both Cavani and Isco, and Pellegrini appears calm on the possibility that he could end up with the same three strikers as last season – Dzeko, Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez.

Tevez now appears to be the most likely to leave, as City would rather cash in now than lose him for nothing when his contract expires next summer with AC Milan and Juventus both keen on the Argentine.

One player poised to move on is Roque Santa Cruz, set to move to Hamburg on a two-year deal.

Maybe we have an agreement with Real to leave each other a clear run at our top targets...

All Mario Gomez ever does is score goals ..... and that is the last thing you need from a striker .. :)

He does score goals indeed, but notice how Bayern are selling him after so many goals, just like the rags sold Berbatov. I think the 'complete striker' is becoming more and more desirable. A striker who can not only score but contribute to the team as a whole (like Cavani can).

I'd score goals at Bayern, he touches the ball about 5 times a match, has no skill, no pace, his link up play is non exsistent, I'd have Zamora over him.

If we could clone Aguero then yes; otherwise, I like the first two and we need to keep searching on the forward.
