Theclub have money to spend after a takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Groupfor Development and Investment (ADUG) and City's new Arab owners areready to bankroll the captures of Europe's top talents.
Havinglanded Brazilian striker Robinho for £32.5million from under the nosesof Chelsea, the club have also been linked with moves for Valenciahitman David Villa, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Arsenalmidfielder Cesc Fabregas.
However, it appears the Bayern Munich marksman, 23, is also a top target and is currently unhappy at Bayern Munich.
He admitted in the Daily Mirror: "Everything is possible.
"Iwould be a bad footballer if I contented myself by sitting on thebench. I could tolerate it if it was a case of two or three weeks, butthere comes a point when one has to draw the line and say: 'This is toomuch! I'm not making any progress here'."
Podolski has gone onrecord recently suggesting he could leave Bayern in January if he isnot playing regularly, although the favourites to sign him are hisformer club FC Cologne.
The German was one of the stars of Euro 2008 and has smashed a staggering 30 goals in 56 matches for the national side.
