Fernandinho is out of contract at the end of the season and could be on his way out of Manchester City as he’s no longer commanding a starting place, so the Sky Blues are looking to replace him.
City have been linked with Denis Zakaria, Manuel Locatelli, Ismael Bennacer and Douglas Luiz, but the Daily Mail said on Sunday that Adrien Rabiot is also on their radar.
The 25-year-old is excellent at turning over the ball, retains high levels of possession and provides a box-to-box threat in midfield, so it’s not surprising why City would be keen on his signature.
