Man City plot move for Atletico Madrid keeper Joel Robles

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Joel Robles is a target for Manchester City.

The Daily Mail says City have recently signed Romania international Costel Pantilimon from Politehnica Timisoara, but Robles has been recommended as a better long-term understudy to Joe Hart.

The 6ft 5in Spain youth international is tied to Atleti till 2014, but City boss Roberto Mancini retains a good relationship with the club following Sergio Aguero's move last summer, which could help smooth a deal.

Tottenham and Wigan have also previously shown interest in Robles, who prefers to wear Joel on his shirt in Spain.
