Manchester City will reportedly look to Middlesbrough centre-back Ben Gibson as an alternative to West Bromwich Albion defender Jonny Evans. Elsewhere, Citizens misfit Samir Nasri is set for a medical with Antalyaspor.
West Brom central defender Evans has been linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium in recent weeks, but the Mirror's John Richardson reported City will bid for Gibson if the Baggies refuse their approach.
Richardson added West Brom are eager to secure £30 million for their Northern Ireland international after rejecting City's £18 million Evans bid last week, forcing the suitors to reconsider their defensive options.
