Moving on to transfer gossip and Sports Mole (via the Mail) suggest City have made known their interest in a Portuguese youngster – but face competition from Barca.
The report reads: “Manchester City reportedly face competition from Barcelona for the signing of Portugal Under-21s international Stephen Eustaquio.
"The 21-year-old currently plies his trade in Primeira Liga for Chaves and is said to have a £13.3m release clause inserted in his contract.
“Eustaquio has also been linked with the likes of Real Betis and Sporting Lisbon after impressing during his nine league appearances for Chaves this term.
According to the Daily Mail, it is City who have made the first move for the youngster as they have already tabled an initial bid.
“Barca are expected to come forward with an offer of their own, however, and it may then be down to Eustaquio to decide his next career move.”
Finally, the Blues now know their Carabao Cup quarter-final opponents.
Leicester City will host Pep’s men on 18 December and Foxes boss Claude Puel is hoping for payback after last season’s exit in the same competition at the hands of City.
Leicester Mercury write: “Claude Puel declared ‘bring on Manchester City’ after his Leicester City side set up a Carabao Cup quarter final clash with the Premier League champions with a penalty shoot-out victory over Southampton.
“For the second consecutive round, City fought out a goalless stalemate and had goalkeeper Danny Ward to thank for some superb saves, including the crucial penalty stop to deny Manolo Gabbiadini, to help his side advance.
“Southampton also had a goal ruled out after a VAR review as City rode their luck at times, but it is now Puel’s men who will face Pep Guardiola’s at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday, December 18.
‘Of course, at the end it is fantastic feeling,’ said Puel.
‘It is fantastic for the team and I hope we can continue. It will be another tough game against Manchester City and we have bad memories of last season, because we deserved a better result against them.
‘With the support of our fans I hope we can find a solution.’
And that’s all for today…
