Manchester City spree will top £175m as Blues step up chase for Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko
Manchester City will step up their quest for a striker this week as they prepare to take their summer spending past £175million.
City spent £60m last week when they confirmed deals for Jerome Boateng, Yaya Toure and David Silva, and they plan to conclude another £67m worth of business with Lazio's Aleksandar Kolarov, Benfica's David Luiz and Aston Villa's James Milner over the next few days.
As Sportsmail has revealed, they are significant steps in what will be the biggest spending spree under taken by a British club in one summer, dwarfing the £120m they spent last year, and the piece de resistance is yet to be delivered.
City fear they will miss out on Fernando Torres because of his preference for playing elsewhere if he leaves Liverpool, but the club have other strikers in mind.
They have made a play for Wolfsburg's Edin Dzeko and were alarmed at the German club's £50m demands.
