Manchester City readying mega bid for Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus
The Citizens are desperate not to repeat the same mistakes of last summer, when they missed out on Robin van Persie, who proved to be the telling factor in this season's title race.
It is believed City are planning a major overhaul of players in the summer, with Scott Sinclair, Edin Dzeko, Joleon Lescott and Samir Nasri amongst those tipped for the Etihad exit.
And Dortmund, who saw Mario Goetze agree a sensational deal with Bayern Munich last week, may be severely tested by City this summer for Reus.
According to football website Goal.com, City are planning a £32m bid for Reus and the transfer package will also include doubling his £60,000-a-week wages.
They mention Reus is reticent to leave the club, though Dortmund may struggle to resist a mega bid for him.

Marco Reus, Borussia Dortmund Winger, Models New Puma Boots For Champions League Final
Marco Reus bursts down the wing as fast as a puma, so it's appropriate he will be donning special Borussia Dortmund-styled Puma boots for Saturday's Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
Reus will wear the PowerCat 1 FG boots in the Wembley showpiece as Dortmund bid to win the second European Cup in the club's history, following the 1997 win in Munich.
An inspired signing from Borussia Mönchengladbach last year, Reus was born in, and grew up, a Dortmund fan but left the club's youth system aged 18.
However he has returned to wow the Westfalenstadion this season and has scored against Manchester City, Real Madrid, Ajax and Málaga en route to the Champions League final.
Puma's partnership with Borussia is appropriate since BVB's challengers for club football's biggest prize, Bayern, are kit supplied by adidas.
The Dassler brothers' falling out during World War II led to Rudolf establishing Puma and Adolf - nicknamed "Adi" - setting up Adidas.
Manchester United Set Sights On Borussia Dortmund Attacker Marco Reus
New United boss David Moyes is keen to put his own stamp on the United first team and has reportedly identified Reus as one of his top summer targets.
Moyes is thought to be unimpressed by the club’s current options out wide. Portuguese winger Nani is expected to leave the club this season after a number of inconsistent displays. Ashley Young has failed to replicate his form for Villa at Old Trafford while Antonio Valencia endured a dismal season over the last twelve months.
Valencia will be given another chance considering he won the club’s Player of the Year trophy the previous season but Moyes is keen to provide himself with more options in the wide midfield areas.
Though Borussia Dortmund lost their Bundesliga crown to Bayern Munich and suffered defeat to their arch rivals in the Champions League final it’s been a hugely successful first season for Reus at the Westfalenstadion side with the 23 year old scoring 18 goals and providing 11 assists in all competitions this term.
