The City boss has been handed a giant suitcase full of cash by the club's ambitious owners...
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has been given a war chest of £250 million for the summer as the club look to rebuild for next season, according to The Daily Mail.
The hope at the City of Manchester Stadium is that the money will be enough to attract some of the world's biggest stars.
Huge salaries are reportedly ready to be offered to these players, to make up for the club's failure to secure European football next season.
Now, a whole host of top players are rumoured to be on their way to the club, including Barcelona strikers Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry. And, it is believed, that the club may even reignite their interest in AC Milan's playmaker Kaka, who they failed to sign in January with a massive bid of £107 million.
The clubs came close to an agreement, but the player preferred to remain at the San Siro for the rest of the season at least.
Without the distraction of European football next season, City believe that they have a chance to break into the top four and have identified the Premier League as their main priority.
They are, therefore, looking to bolster their squad, particularly their defence and front line, with many big name players expected to be linked with the club over the next few weeks and months.
