It seems unlikely that the treble-winners try to sign Alessandro Bastoni Giorgio Chiellini has a point and, in all fairness, one can even foresee why Alessandro Bastoni would be a hit at Manchester City.

However, the Sky Blues would perhaps only target his signature if they plan to offload one of their centre-backs.

Otherwise, it would be a challenge of the highest order for Pep Guardiola to keep the entire roster happy as minutes will not be easy to come by.

As a result, City would perhaps try to tackle other areas of the pitch where bolstering is perhaps a bigger need than in central defence.
