Manchester City have Ruben Dias, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Eric Garcia and Nathan Ake at their disposal, but they may need another centre-back if Garcia leaves as expected when his contract expires and Ake is moved on after an injury-hit season.
The Sky Blues have been linked with Kalidou Koulibaly, Joules Kounde, Dayot Upamecano and Leonardo Bonucci, but Corriere dello Sport (h/t Sport Witness) say Pau Torres is still on their radar and might be available for a cut-price fee.




Torres rose through the youth ranks to Villarreal’s first-team in 2017/18 and has gone on to make 75 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals and supplying two assists (Transfermarkt).
