Ben Chilwell Targeted by Man City But They Will Face Battle From Barcelona & Atletico Madrid

Manchester City face an uphill battle to sign Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell this summer as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have entered the race for the talented defender's signature.

Leicester have no interest in selling the England international and have slapped a £50m price tag on their emerging star, but that fee is not likely to deter Europe's wealthiest sides.

Pep Guardiola has been hoping to add Chilwell to his ranks, that currently include the injury-prone Benjamin Mendy and an out of position Oleksandr Zinchenko, but now faces steep competition from Barca and Atletico Madrid for the 22 year old's signature, according to The Sun.
