Manchester City are ready to move for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha.

The Daily Star says City are turning to the Portugal international after missing out on a deal for West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta.

City are readying a £50m bid for Palhinha next month.

The midfielder also remains a target for Bayern Munich, where a deadline deal on September 1 collapsed for Palhinha.

City will go for Palhinha once they move out Kalvin Phillips.
