Manuel Pellegrini has reportedly listed five transfer targets for Manchester City before officially joining the club.

The Chilean boss is expected to replace recently-sacked Roberto Mancini at the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season after his current club Malaga confirmed that he is free to leave the Spanish outfit in the summer.

It is believed that the 59-year-old has drawn up a five-man shortlist, with Malaga star Isco being at the top, after he agreed in principle a two-year deal with the former Premier League champions, according to the Daily Star.

Reports have claimed that Isco has already agreed to move to Manchester with his manager.
