Manchester City are planning an offer for Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar in January.

City boss Pep Guardiola lost key man Aymeric Laporte to injury against Brighton.

The Frenchman is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after surgery.

Calciomercato.com says City attempted to sign Skriniar over the summer but failed to do so. Nevertheless, they will return in January with a new offer.
