Manchester City are tracking Southampton defender Cedric Soares as they look to bolster their defensive options next season, sources close to the Etihad Stadium club have told ESPN FC.
City boss Pep Guardiola has made a new right-back one of his top priorities this summer and sources have told ESPN FC that Portugal international Soares figures on his wanted list.
Current City right-backs Bacary Sagna, 34, and Pablo Zabaleta, 32, are both out of contract this summer and they could both leave as they have yet to be offered new deals.
City have been credited with an interest in Arsenal's Hector Bellerin and Tottenham's Kyle Walker, but the club realise it would be hard to prise away either of those two from their direct rivals and Soares may be more a realistic option.
