Manchester City line up a summer move for Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, according to a report.

Manchester City are reportedly lining up a summer move for Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni.

The 22-year-old has been in impressive form for his Ligue 1 club during the 2021-22 campaign, making 44 appearances in all competitions, contributing three goals and two assists in the process.

Monaco are likely to find it difficult to keep hold of the France international this summer, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid all said to be interested in his services.

According to Football Insider, Man City are also huge admirers of the midfielder, making him their number one target this summer to replace Fernandinho, who is set to leave the Citizens on a free transfer.

The report claims that Pep Guardiola's side are confident of winning the race for Tchouameni despite a number of other clubs also showing an interest.

The midfielder only has little over two years left to run on his current deal with Monaco, and he is not believed to be interested in discussing an extension with the Ligue 1 side.

Tchouameni's agent recently denied that his client had reached an agreement with Real Madrid over a summer move to Bernabeu amid the recent speculation.
