In the worst kept secret of all time, Manchester City are looking for a centre-back this summer and could go big to get their man.
How big remains the main question, especially following their FFP scare, and we’ll have to see when the time comes.
Regardless, important names have been linked with a move to the Etihad, with the latest being Dayot Upamecano, currently contracted to RB Leipzig.
The Frenchman is out of contract next summer, meaning he either renews his deal with the Bundesliga side or gets sold this summer.
His situation has attracted a lot of interest already, with big clubs of Manchester United’s and Arsenal’s ilk sniffing around, but Le10 Sport in France believe it’s Manchester City who have the advantage.
The claim comes amid an article about Leonardo’s latest moves as Paris Saint-Germain’s technical director, and while he has asked about Jean-Clair Todibo and Upamecano, the website claim Pep Guardiola’s side have a ‘head start’ over both the Ligue 1 champions and Real Madrid when it comes to the latter.
That’s all they say, so we’re not exactly sure how that’s come to be the case, and hopefully we’ll get a bit more detail soon.
Either way, he’s young, French and decent with the ball in his feet, so why not be of interest to the Spaniard and Manchester City?
