Man City chief Txiki in Monaco to see Mendy

Manchester City are eyeing Monaco fullback Benjamin Mendy.

The Daily Mail says City's sporting director Txiki Begiristain is expected at the Stade Louis II for the first-leg of the Champions League semi-final against Juventus.

Pep Guardiola has made new full-backs a priority in his summer recruitment drive.

Monaco spent £7million on 21-year-old Brazilian left back Jorge, hailed as the next Roberto Carlos, from Flamengo in January.

Jorge's progress clears the way for them to cash in on 22-year-old Mendy, who has enjoyed an impressive season at Monaco since his £12.5m transfer from Marseille last year.
