Pep Guardiola has reportedly been in touch with Ismael Bennacer to convince him to join Manchester City.
The 22-year-old midfielder has been a key part of AC Milan's side during the 2019-20 campaign, making 23 appearances before Serie A was brought to a halt by the coronavirus pandemic.
City boss Guardiola gave Bennacer a call over a possible switch to the Etihad, according to RMC Sport.
The Premier League side came close to signing the Algeria international five years ago but ultimately a move failed to materialise.
