OTHER BETS

City have been linked with Jorginho, Isco, Eder Militao, Jean-michel Seri, Julian Weigl, Thomas Lemar, and Eden Hazard. Real Madrid’s Isco is unlikely to leave the Spanish club. Jorginho, the 26-year-old Italian holding midfielder at Napoli, has been linked with Liverpool. Eder Militao is a highly rated Sao Paolo centre-back or defensive midfielder, but Nice’s Seri seems like the option City may plump for in defensive midfield if they can’t attract Fred or Jorginho. Weigl is another right-wing option if Mbappe or Mahrez falls through. Monaco’s Thomas Lemar and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard are unlikely. Lemar’s price tag is too high, while Chelsea will not want to sell to a rival club.
