Manchester City face competition for Sassuolo midfielder Manuel Locatelli.
The Italy international is being watched by City this season with the view to a summer move.
However, the Premier League giants won't get a clear run at Locatelli should they firm up their interest.
Sport1 says Borussia Dortmund are also keen on the midfielder.
Like City, Dortmund see Locatelli, 23, as a summer transfer target.
