The Premier League champions look in need of revamping their squad in the summer after a disappointing season, with midfielders Yaya Toure and David Silva perhaps past their best.
Koke has become widely regarded as one of the top midfielders in La Liga in recent times, and would no doubt make a quality addition at the Etihad Stadium.
