Benfica defender Ruben Dias is interesting Manchester City.

The Manchester Evening News says City's exploits in 2019/20 have made it clear reinforcements at centre-back are a priority for Pep Guardiola.

City have struggled whenever Aymeric Laporte has been absent from their starting XI, prompting links with Benfica's Dias as a potential solution to their problems.

Dias, who played for Portugal in their UEFA Nations League final victory, is one of the hottest young defensive prospects in Europe.

He has also been long admired by Real Madrid.
