Manchester City Transfer News: Ajax midfielder chooses French club amid interest from Man City and Barcelona; City decides on Real Madrid's Isco and more - January 17, 2019

#2 Man City speedster is drawing interest from Bundesliga and Premier League clubs

Matondo could be the next youngster to leave Manchester City.

According to the Sport Witness, Manchester City youngster, Rabbi Matondo has drawn interest from Bundesliga clubs like Borussia Monchengladbach, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and 1899 Hoffenheim, after rejecting a new contract offer last week. It's believed that Premier clubs Everton and Southampton are also monitoring the situation of the 18-year-old.

Matondo is regarded as the fastest player in all of the Manchester City squad and is also referred to as a 'Pep-jewel.' The Welsh International is currently valued at €10m.

#1 Man City not interested in signing Isco

Isco is struggling for game time at Real Madrid.

The defending Premier League champions have expressed their disinterest in Real Madrid's Isco and prioritize a defensive midfielder instead.

The 26-year-old Spaniard performed exceedingly well under Zinedine Zidane but has fallen in the pecking order under the current boss, Santiago Solari. Isco is yet to start a game since the 5-1 defeat to Barcelona, with the new signing Diaz getting the nod ahead of him in the victory over Real Betis last time out.

Manchester City already has a rich list of attacking midfielders and don't want to add another in the same position. They would instead be looking to sign a holding midfielder who would be an ideal replacement for the 34-year-old Fernandinho.
