"Man City" strategist Jose Guardiola aimed to further strengthen the defensive line.
"Tuttomercatoweb" reports that the English champions are targeting Paris Saint Germain football player Marco Verratti.
However, the "Cityzens" will need to put in a lot of effort and possibly request the player's involvement, as their relationship with the French is quite tense, the press writes.
In the "Ligue 1" championships, the 25-year-old Italian has been playing for six years, and in the past he has also represented his hometown team "Pescara".
Last season, Verratti made 3 assists in 22 matches in the French league.
