"Manchester City" is seriously interested in Barcelona's "Espanyol" club left-back defender Aaron Martin, ESPN reports.
Last week, the 20-year-old Spaniard was watched by scouts from the "Man City" club when he played against Seville's "Real Betis". Pep Guardiola values this young player and would like to see him in his team.
Last summer, "Man City" spent a notable amount for Benjamin Mendy, but he has suffered a serious injury. Nevertheless, P. Guardiola wants to see as much competition in all positions as possible and would like to see the defender in Manchester as soon as January.
It won't be easy to acquire the defender, as his services are also actively sought after by the "Manchester United" club, which was considering buying him last summer.
A. Martin has already played 12 matches this season with "Espanyol".
