Manchester City are seemingly still pondering a move for Southampton left-back Ryan Bertrand, the Daily Mail reports.
It’s stated that City have been keeping a close eye on Bertrand’s recent performances at Saints as they consider moving in for him when the January transfer window opens in only a few days.
Bertrand has been one of Saints’ better performers this season but is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury. Although, it seems Mauricio Pellegrino is hopeful he will return for the team’s clash against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.
Manchester City could be looking to lure a left-back to the club in January having been forced to use Fabian Delph, a central midfielder, and Danilo, a right-back, on the left-hand side. This is due to Benjamin Mendy, who they signed for a fee in the region of £50 million from Monaco in the summer, rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament earlier in the season.
Saints confirmed the sale of Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool on Wednesday night for what is reported to be a fee of £70 million with an additional £5 million consisting of performance-related bonuses.
Bertrand could be tempted to play under Pep Guardiola as his City side continue to fly, but will also be mindful that game time is essential this season with the World Cup following soon after. - Source
