Manchester City have spoken to Anderlecht about the possibility of signing left-back Sergio Gomez this summer.
The 21-year old is viewed as an alternative to Brighton & Hove Albion's Marc Cucurella, who is now closer to joining Premier League rivals Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola's side had been in pole position to sign the Spanish full-back, but after failing to meet the £50million valuation, the Blues have seemingly hijacked a move for the 24-year-old.

City could head into their season opener away to West Ham United on Sunday with just two full-backs after letting Oleksandr Zinchenko leave for Arsenal earlier this summer.
