In facing serious defensive issues, the "Manchester City" team will seek reinforcement in this position during the winter.
According to the "Daily Mirror", which relies on information from Portugal, the focus of the "citizens" is on 22-year-old Lisbon "Benfica" defender Ruben Dias.
Portuguese, who has been closely watched by scouts from "Manchester United" and Madrid's "Real" clubs for a long time, has a release clause in his contract of 60 million euros, which could potentially rise to 80 million.
Last summer, "Man City" lost Vincent Kompany, and Aymeric Laporte has also been sidelined for a long time.
R. Dias has been playing for the main "Benfica" team since 2017.
The footballer has already established himself in the Portuguese national team, where he has played 13 matches since last year.
It is emphasized that "Man City" will take more decisive actions regarding the acquisition of the player if Leroy Sane is sold in winter.
