Manchester City are reportedly considering a move for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.
The news comes as the club faces the prospect of losing midfielder Rodri to Real Madrid, with the 30-year-old set to undergo back surgery on Monday and then take a holiday and rest period.
City's new manager Enzo Maresca has already made one significant signing in Elliot Anderson, who joined from Nottingham Forest in a £116 million deal.
However, Maresca is now in the market to sign a new winger, with Pedro Neto reportedly on the club's shortlist.
Neto is a Portugal international who has a good rapport with Maresca due to their time together at Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are pushing to sign Rodri from City, with the midfielder keen to join the Spanish giants for both football and family reasons.
Rodri's contract with City expires next year, and he has already admitted that he would find it difficult to turn down a move to Madrid.
The midfielder spoke highly of La Liga and the Bernabeu stadium, suggesting that he would be open to a return to Spain.
Maresca has expressed a desire to keep Rodri at the club, but the midfielder's comments suggest that he may be set to leave Manchester City this summer.
