Liverpool to rival Manchester City for Monaco's Benjamin Mendy - sources

This is a modal window.

Stevie Nicol breaks down the ins and outs of Liverpool this summer and who will be at the club come next season.

Liverpool are ready to rival Manchester City for Benjamin Mendy, although Pep Guardiola's side remain favourites to land the Monaco defender, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC.

France international Mendy, 22, is a target for a number of clubs across Europe after impressing for Monaco following his move from Marseille last summer.

City, who have allowed Gael Clichy to leave on a free transfer, have been leading the chase for Mendy as they look to bring in a new left-back but now face rival interest from Liverpool.
