Manchester City have joined the list of clubs interested in signing UD Almeria striker Umar Sadiq, according to reports in Spain.
The Nigerian international has 55 goals and 33 assists in 145 senior appearances for the likes of Almeria, Roma, Rangers and Partizan. He also has four goals in six caps for Nigeria.
That form has alerted the likes of Spartak Moscow and Eintracht Frankfurt, AS report, and now apparently City are entering the race.
They say that City would sign the 24-year-old as a City Football Group signing, loaning him out to newly-promoted Troyes in France. The report adds that Almeria are expecting an offer from City soon.
It's suggested Sadiq would be considered for a first team role at City following this loan spell in Ligue 1. The striker has a release clause reported to be set at €60m , but Almeria would accept an offer of €30m for their prized asset.
Meanwhile, Juventus are still planning to press ahead with a potential move for Gabriel Jesus, regardless of Cristiano Ronaldo's future, reports in Italy say.
Corriere dello Sport say selling Ronaldo would help Max Allegri's transfer plans this summer, but should the Portuguese star stay then Juventus would want a new striker to join their ranks regardless.
Jesus has been mentioned as a potential Juve target all summer, while former City striker Edin Dzeko is another player on the Italians' radar.
It's suggested that Jesus would require a large transfer fee to persuade City to part with their only current striker.
