According to TEAMtalk, Man City have enquired about Malo Gusto, having heard that he might be available this summer.
Maresca has ‘strong appreciation’ for the 23-year-old, and views him as a versatile option who fits nicely into his system.

Enzo Maresca’s appointment is happening soon
According to Manchester Evening News journalist Simon Bajkowski, Maresca will get going at Man City within the next few days.
There is no uncertainty about his appointment, but with the World Cup about to begin, there is only so much he can do at this current time.
Bajkowski said: “He [Maresca] should officially start in the next few days, although he will have been getting ready for a long time already.
In terms of how much work he can do though, there’s not loads, given that all of the squad are on their holidays and nearly all of them are off to the World Cup.
“Things are expected to pick up in July when pre-season officially starts and then they will head off on the summer tour to Asia, where it is hoped that the friendlies they will play can be of some value before they return and head to Cardiff for the Community Shield against Arsenal.”
