Manchester City are considering a move for RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.

While locked in talks with Napoli for Kalidou Koulibaly, City have also made contact with Upamecano's camp in recent days.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Upamecano is being viewed as an alternative to Koulibaly, who is rated in the €80-90m class by Napoli.

Meanwhile, City boss Pep Guardiola has made it be known how highly he regards Upamecano.

Indeed, the Frenchman's minders have been informed of Guardiola's admiration and where he sees him in City's playing system.
