Manchester City have identified Alexis Mac Allister as a potential successor to Ilkay Gundogan, according to reports in Spain.
Gundogan's current contract with the Blues expires this summer, with the lack of progression over a new deal leading to speculation that the midfielder could call time on an eight-year spell at the Etihad. The 32-year-old continues to catch eyes in Barcelona with the Spanish side having failed to land him last year.
As part of a contingency plan for losing their club captain, those in charge at City are exploring potential successors that can be snapped up efficiently in the off-season. And according to Fichajes, Pep Guardiola's side have decided on Brighton's Mac Allister as the first choice.
