According to The Sun, Manchester City have started talks with Red Star Belgrade over a potential deal for Andrija Radulovic.
It’s stated that City scouts have been watching Radulovic for well over a year now, and have started talks to try and tee up a deal.
Radulovic impressed in the UEFA Youth League last season and scored against Tottenham Hotspur, with his performance against Spurs sparking City’s interest.
Tottenham allegedly want Radulovic too off the back of that display, but it’s City now pushing to sign the Serbian wide man.
City have been recruiting regularly in Serbia, with Sloboan Tedic, Luka Ilic, Ivan Ilic and Filip Stevanovic all arriving inside the last four years.
That may make a deal with City even more appealing to Radulovic, knowing that he could emerge into City’s first-team setup with compatriots down the line.
For now, a loan move to one of City’s sister clubs – Girona or Troyes spring to mind – seems more likely given that the wide man is only 18.
Tottenham do have time to swoop in and get a deal done, but with talks underway, it looks like City are pushing ahead as firm favourites.
