Manchester City have reportedly identified Sevilla star and Chelsea transfer target Steven N'Zonzi as the ideal player to replace the injured Ilkay Gundogan. Meanwhile, the Blues are said to be keeping an eye on Fenerbahce's Simon Kjaer, with Juventus' Leonardo Bonucci no longer an option.
According to Estadio Deportivo (h/t Calciomercato.com), the Citizens are actively looking to replace Gundogan, who suffered a devastating knee injury and will spend a significant amount time on the sidelines.
N'Zonzi, who has been linked heavily with Juventus and is also of interest to Chelsea, has now been identified as the preferred replacement, with a potential move made easy by the fact his contract contains a release clause of roughly £25 million.
