Manchester City are moving for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde.

City are turning to Sevilla after being frustrated in negotiations for Napoli centre-half Kalidou Koulibaly.

Corriere dello Sport says City have no interest in meeting Napoli's €80m valuation for the Senegal international.

Instead, the Premier League giants are now making Kounde their defensive priority.

Talks have already commenced with Sevilla and City are attempting to close an agreement this week.
