Manchester City have shortlisted Sassuolo's Manuel Locatelli ahead of a potential summer move.
City are keeping tabs on Locatelli, 23, who has developed into one of the best central midfielders in Serie A.
And he features prominently on their list of targets with central midfield expected to be among the areas they look to strengthen in the summer transfer window.
Locatelli burst onto the scene at AC Milan, making his top flight debut for the club aged just 18 in 2016, and was tipped to be the future of their midfield.
