Manchester City are reviving their interest in highly-rated teenage midfielder Thiago Almada.
The 19-year-old wonderkid was the subject of interest from Pep Guardiola's side a year ago, but the club could not agree a deal with his parent club Velez Sarsfeld.
However, the Citizens are expected to face fierce competition to sign Almada, with rivals Manchester United tracking the young midfielder's situation.
But reports from the Sun say that the youngster is more open to a move to Guardiola's side, as City legend Carlos Tevez is believed to be Almada's idol.
