Manchester City have made Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez their key transfer target for the summer, as they look for a long-term replacement to Fernandinho.
Now 33, Fernandinho is undoubtedly approaching the latter stages of his career, but he still remains one of City's most important players. The side has looked vulnerable when Fernandinho is not on the pitch, with many fans calling for Pep Guardiola to target another defensive midfielder in the transfer window.
News of City's interest in Saul comes from The Mirror, who state that Guardiola has identified the Spaniard as the perfect alternative to Fernandinho.
