Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala is a target for Valencia.

The Sun says the expected arrival of John Stones, and Jason Denayer's return from Galatasaray is squeezing him out.

Jorge Mendes, Mangala's agent, has close links with Valencia after helping them find new owner Peter Lim.

Mangala has also attracted interest from clubs in Portugal and France.

Everton centre-back Stones is close to a sensational £50m deal to link up Pep Guardiola.

And once the England defender joins the ranks Mangala will find his game time seriously limited.
