Manchester City are at the head of the queue to sign Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez this summer, according to reports.
City are on the look out for a defensive-minded midfielder to provide competition for - and eventually to replace - Fernandinho.
Pep Guardiola's first choice was Ajax star Frenkie de Jong, but he was left disappointed as the Dutch midfielder chose Barcelona instead.
