German daily Sport Bild understands that Manchester City are keeping close tabs on Kyriakos Papadopoulos and Paolo Cannavaro.
It is no secret new boss Manuel Pellegrini is hoping to add another high-profile defender to the squad, with Real Madrid’s Pepe his number one target.
However, with los Blancos not prepared to cash in on the Portugal international, the Citizens will have to look elsewhere.
According to Sport Bild, Manuel Pellegrini is also keeping close tabs on Schalke stopper Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
Even if the Greece international recently signed a new deal until June 2016, his release clause stands at €22.5 million, which is well within City’s price range.
Meanwhile, the Citizens are also looking to Napoli captain Paolo Cannavaro, the younger brother of Italy legend Fabio Cannavaro.
The 32-year-old has been a real rock at the back for the Azzurri over the last seven years, but it remains to be seen whether he will keep his place in the side under Rafael Benitez.
