Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Alex Song, following his successful season-long loan spell at West Ham United.
The 27-year-old, who has also been linked with a move to AC Milan in recent weeks, is expected to leave the Camp Nou this summer.
According to ESPN, City are weighing up a move for Song after West Ham failed in an attempt to make his short-term stay more permanent.
Having spent three years at Arsenal before turning 21, the Cameroon international qualifies as homegrown, which is said to have only increased the Citizens' interest.
James Milner, Micah Richards and Dedryck Boyata are all expected to leave the Etihad Stadium before the end of the transfer window, meaning that the recently dethroned Premier League champions will need to bring in fresh faces to fulfil their homegrown quota.
