As Manchester City aims to bolster its defensive lineup in the wake of Vincent Kompany and Martin Demichelis’ departures, the club is actively exploring potential options. The Manchester Evening Standard reports that French defenders Kurt Zouma and Eliaquim Mangala are prominent candidates under consideration by the current second-placed team in the Premier League. Additionally, Bayern Munich’s Dante has also garnered interest from the Manchester City hierarchy.
Meanwhile, Newcastle, another English club, is said to be putting forth substantial efforts to lure Zouma away from the competition. The two clubs are now in a battle to secure the allegiance of the Frenchman. Despite the rivalry, Zouma expresses a strong desire for a change of scenery. The ultimate outcome rests on which club will successfully win his favor in this transfer pursuit.
