Manchester City defender Ko Itakura is wanted by Borussia Monchengladbach, according to reports.
The Japanese centre-back arrived at the Etihad in June 2019 but has since completed a two-year loan spell at FC Groningen and a season-long loan with FC Schalke last season.
Itakura is reportedly ready to exit Manchester permanently ahead of next season, with Fulham and Bournemouth both keen to land his signature.
But Borussia Monchengladbach now lead the race for Itakura ahead of the newly-promoted Premier League outfits, according to Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas.
