Manchester City will move for Brazilian defender Eder Militao in the summer in a bid to bounce back from their Champions League disappointment.

Pep Guardiola wants to make reinforcements to his already lavish squad after failing to advance past the quarter-final stage, having lost against fellow Premier League side Liverpool.

And he has made Sao Paulo’s Militao, who has been valued at £20million, one of his primary targets.

The 20-year-old could also reinforce Guardiola’s midfield, as he is able to play in defensive midfield.

City will have to contend with interest from across Europe for Militao — he is a target for Portuguese giants Porto too.

Militao could be one of three arrivals at the Etihad this summer, with Guardiola also keen to make a move for Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fred.

City and Manchester United both looked at the £50m midfielder in January but neither made a move.

His advisor Gilberto Silva has confirmed that Fred wants a move to England. Fred is viewed as a long-term replacement for Fernandinho.

They could also make another move for Riyad Mahrez. He was desperate to join City in January and his ten goals and eight assists have marked him out as a player who fits among the Premier League’s elite.

The Leicester winger would cost around £60m.

City can secure the Premier League title with a win against Tottenham on Saturday night.
