Manchester City are set to follow up their Premier League triumph with an official 30million offer for Eden Hazard in the next few days.
Blues boss Roberto Mancini is already looking to reinforce his squad and has received the green light from the club's owners to make a move for the Belgian winger, currently rated the hottest young prospect in European football.
Rivals Manchester United are also in the race for the Lille player, but sources have indicated Sir Alex Ferguson?s side are struggling to meet both the fee and wages.
City want to make a serious statement and don't want to rest on their laurels after their sensational last-gasp win against Queens Park Rangers on Sunday, which secured the club's first title in 44 years.
The Manchester outfit crashed out of the Champions League group stages this term and Mancini believes he needs at least three new top-class recruits to give them a serious tilt at it and also defend their Premier League crown.
It is also understood the Italian is still unsure about the future of striker Carlos Tevez and is lining up a 35million move for Napoli forward Edison Cavani.
City keeper Joe Hart insists: "We need to enjoy what we have achieved but let's do it again. We want to win."
