Manchester City have added a central midfielder to their transfer wishlist as they look to refresh parts of Pep Guardiola’s squad this summer.
Sportsmail understands City, bruised following Wednesday’s dramatic Champions League exit at Real Madrid, are planning to start next season with at least three new faces.
The Premier League champions are expected to land striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund to fill a void up front, while Guardiola will run the rule over Argentina forward Julian Alvarez during pre-season.
But the City boss is also looking to capture a midfielder who is capable of operating both in a reserved holding position and in a more advanced role.
