Manchester City are reportedly pondering a big-money move for Espanyol defender Aaron Martin.
According to a report from Spanish news outlet Sport, as cited by the Daily Mail today, Pep Guardiola is still keen to bolster his defensive reinforcements and has identified Martin as a potential fit for his City side.
The 20-year-old is reportedly valued at a whopping £36 million by his Espanyol side, with City having already made a £16m move for the youngster.
Martin is a left-back by trade, and demonstrated his potential in Espanyol’s senior team in La Liga last season, catching the eye of several clubs across the continent.
City have already strengthened their full-back options this summer, splashing copious amounts of money on Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy and Danilo.
However, they do have just one senior left-back on the books, and Martin would undoubtedly provide a good cover option.
Real Madrid are also linked with a move for Martin.
