Manchester City could make an offer for Royal Society star Martin Zubimendi next week.
Zubimendi was widely linked with a summer move to City's Premier League rivals Liverpool before eventually opting against the move at the last minute.
The Spanish international has dramatically changed his mind, to stay in San Sebastian, but the situation has changed in the Basque Country.
With Liverpool out of the running, City could now be unopposed in their push for the 25-year-old as part of a major spending month in Manchester.
Pep Guardiola is expected to make major investments in the coming weeks in an attempt to revive his struggling team, and Zubimendi would be a major coup.
Zubimendi still has a £52m release clause in his contract, which City can afford, and the club are willing to back Guardiola to extend their title defense in 2025 – reports from Football Insider they claim that an offer could be made in a few days.
