Manchester City eager to add Dortmund midfielder to their ranks

The 22-year-old is contracted to the Bundesliga club until 2021, but Spanish media outlet Diario AS has claimed City and Barcelona are both interested in signing the player.

With Yaya Toure and Fernandinho both out of contract next summer, City boss Pep Guardiola is on the lookout for midfield reinforcements and Weigl appears to fit the bill.

He joined Dortmund from 1860 Munich in 2015, making in his debut in August that year against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Weigl soon established himself in the first team, helping the club finish second in the Bundesliga.
