RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol is top of Manchester City's list of targets should Aymeric Laporte leave the club this summer.
Mail Sport revealed in April that City will not stand in Laporte's way if he seeks a move elsewhere in the window.
The Spaniard had been a regular in the City team but saw himself fall out of the first XI last season, starting just 11 Premier League games and none of their knockout ties in Europe.
Pep Guardiola's side went on to win the Treble and they are looking to sell and bring in another top defender.
