Manchester City defender Pablo Mari is attracting the interest of a number of Premier League and Championship clubs, according to reports from the Daily Mail.

Mari made a surprise move from Gimnastic de Tarragona to City this summer and the defender was immediately loaned out by the Citizens to Spanish Segunda outfit Girona.

The 23-year-old Spanish centre-back has featured sparingly for Girona during the club's promotion charge but reports emerging out of England have claimed that the 23-year-old is courting interest from a number of Premier League as well as Championship teams.

Mari is back in action after a minor injury and expected to be giving more chances by Girona boss Pablo Machin before the January transfer window.
