Manchester City Target Sime Vrsaljko Reportedly Asks to Leave Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid defender Sime Vrsaljko has reportedly asked to leave the club as speculation linking him with Manchester City and Serie A giants Napoli continues to grow.

Madrid-based newspaper Marca reported Vrsaljko has pushed for a move away from the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium by requesting to leave face-to-face with Atletico officials (h/t TalkSport).

The Croatia international joined Los Rojiblancos from Italian outfit Sassuolo in the summer of 2016 but has found his chances limited while he serves as deputy to first-choice right-back Juanfran.
