Manchester City have lodged a bid for Juventus fullback Joao Cancelo.

Tuttosport says City have submitted a bid of £53m for Cancelo.

City have stepped up their attempts to sign the left-back.

Blues chiefs see Cancelo as a first-choice as they lose faith in the long-term future of Benjamin Mendy.

The Portuguese player has also been linked with Manchester United as he considers leaving Turin.
