Manchester City are not looking to reinforce their attacking options this summer, according to manager Roberto Mancini.

Reports in Italy have suggested that AC Milan front man Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a target for the Barclays Premier League champions.

Napoli forward Ezequiel Lavezzi and Bologna striker Gaston Ramirez have also been linked with the Eastlands club.

“Ibrahimovic is a champion,” Mancini told Gazzetta dello Sport. “But I already have four very strong strikers.

“I just need them to compete in the Champions League. We are okay up front.”

City boast rich talent in attack with Sergio Aguero, who scored the dramtic injury-time title winning goal against QPR, Mario Balotelli, Carlos Tevez and Edin Dzeko vying for places.
