In an interview with French TV Show Canal Football Club, Anzhi player-coach Roberto Carlos has sensationally revealed that the club are willing to break the bank to bring Robin van Persie, Nicolas Anelka and Neymar to the club.
Carlos is also after PSG's Nene, as Anzhi look to shell out over â¬70 million next summer in a bid to become the next Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Roberto Carlos was the club's first major signing after Anzhi's takeover by billionaire Suleyman Kerimov and the club has since signed Yuri Zhirkov and Samuel Eto'o.
He took over as temporary player-coach after Gadzhi Gadzhiyev was fired following a string of poor results. He has now revealed that there are four players on his wishlist.
"Anelka is not the only player," he told the French TV show Canal Football Club.
"Nenê from PSG and Van Persie from Arsenal are players we are following. And Neymar? I talked to him. If Real, Barça or Manchester United cannot pay the transfer fee, we will pay it. Suleyman Kerimov can offer what he wants."
"We want to make a club the calibre of Real or Barça. We have the potential to have a strong team. We are already the best team in Russia and I am serious when I say that."
The club have also been linked to current England manager Fabio Capello and even Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.
Anelka and Capello are in the final year of their respective contracts, while van Persie has less than two years left on his current deal.
Anzhi are currently down in eighth place in the Russian Premier League and will need a major boost of talent if they want to win the competition next season.
