The South American pair have carved out reputations as two of the finest forwards in Europe in recent years playing for their respective clubs Napoli and Atletico Madrid.
City manager Roberto Mancini has earmarked the pair after becoming unhappy at a
lack of goals at the club, according to The Mirror.
It is believed that both players would cost around £50m each.
