Manchester City are giving serious consideration to triggering a 6 million euros (£5.35 million) buy-back option for PSV Eindhoven defender Angelino.

The Premier League champions sold Angelino to PSV last summer but they are now ready to bring the Spain Under-21 international back to the club in order to provide cover at left back.

Although foreign reports have suggested Angelino’s buy-back clause is 12 million euros, it is actually half that amount.

City were planning a move for Leicester City and England left back Ben Chilwell earlier in the year but a combination of Oleksandr Zinchenko’s impressive form and a willingness to give Benjamin Mendy another chance after two injury plagued seasons prompted the club to shelve the Chilwell proposal for the time being.

However, City manager Pep Guardiola would still like more cover at left back and Angelino would be a cheap solution to that problem. There have been reports that Paris St Germain have offered PSV 25 million euros for the 22-year-old but City’s buy-back gives them first option.
