Full-backs seem to be at the top of the agenda for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola this summer.
The Etihad Stadium outfit have already released three of their full-backs – Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy – whilst Aleksandar Kolarov more commonly lines up at centre-half these days.
Likewise, dynamic, attacking full-backs are so important to how Guardiola wants his side to play, pushing up to add extra width in the middle-to-final third, so reports from Goal claiming he’s eyeing both Ryan Bertrand and Benjamin Mendy as double-left-back additions are no great surprise.
Goal believe City are hopeful of signing both this summer so they can work together at the Etihad Stadium next season.
