Manchester City are reportedly monitoring any developments with the future of Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos.
Despite his legendary status at the Bernabeu, the 34-year-old has just six months remaining on his current Los Blancos contract.
While talks are likely to continue behind the scenes, the lack of progress has left Ramos in a position where he is able to hold discussions with foreign clubs.
According to ESPN, Man City boss Pep Guardiola is open to signing the Spain international on a free transfer.
Guardiola is said to be a fan of the veteran, while the feeling at City is that his presence would benefit their first-team squad.
The Premier League outfit are likely to require a replacement for Eric Garcia, who is expected to make the switch to Barcelona at the end of the season.
