According to ESPN Deportes journalist, Rodrigo Fáez, City are targeting Jules Koundé and Pau Torres.
Koundé has been subject to lots of interest from all around Europe.
The French defender has been linked with FC Barcelona, PSG and Chelsea.
City know that a move for Koundé due to Sevilla’s demands and Barça trying to close a deal.
Pau Torres has also attracted plenty of interest following his role in helping Villarreal reach the Champions League semi-finals.
The Spaniard would also be a direct replacement for Aké as he is a left-footed defender.
He is likely to be much more attainable with the Yellow Submarine open to selling him.
