Manchester City are reportedly planning a £30m summer swoop for Roma defender Antonio Rudiger.

According to the Daily Mirror, Pep Guardiola has set his sights firmly on the Germany international.

It’s suggested City had scouts at all of Rudiger’s games in recent months and want to meet with his agents next week.

The 24-year-old had already been linked with a move to Manchester City last year, but he suffered a serious knee injury that ruled him out of Euro 2016.
