Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is reportedly mulling over a big-money move for Roma defender Antonio Rudiger, according to The Mirror.
The City’s ageing defence line is in need of a major overhaul this summer, with a number of players due to see their contracts expire soon.

The report claims, the Germany international has been targeted as a £30m signing after being scouted by the Citizens’ staff in recent months.
It is claimed that the Sky Blues are due to meet with representatives of the 24-year-old defender next week to get it done, but they could face some late competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea.
Rudiger has made 25 appearances for Roma in all competitions this season.
