Having previously been heavily linked with Manchester United, it’s Manchester City’s turn to be linked with Benoit Badiashile.
This comes after Newcastle held some talks with AS Monaco about a potential move this weekend, but the player’s injury against Nantes on Sunday may have scuppered that deal.
Manchester City, however, aren’t in that much of a rush, perhaps happy to wait until the summer to get a transfer sorted, but their interest is there nonetheless.
However, it’s made very clear that Manchester City ‘will only move in case of a Nathan Aké departure’.
The Dutchman, who has been helping out at left-back of late, has been linked with a transfer away from the Etihad in January, as he appears to be on a list of targets in Milan, who are looking for someone to help out while Simon Kjaer recovers from a severe injury.
