Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly on course for potential confrontation with former club Barcelona as Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Weigl is said to be a key target for both clubs next summer.
Spanish newspaper AS (h/t MailOnline's Luke Augustus) reported both Barcelona and City see Weigl as "the new Sergio Busquets," the midfield anchor who has been a dominant force at the Camp Nou for close to 10 years.
However, it's the Citizens who look likely to offer the quicker route to regular first-team football with the contracts of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho expiring in June 2018.
