The Southampton left-back could join Tottenham Hotspur’s Kyle Walker at Manchester City.
Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand
Manchester City have agreed “some aspects” of a deal to sign Southampton left-back Ryan Bertrand, according to Sky Sports.
And it is claimed that Bertrand, along with Tottenham Hotspur right-back Kyle Walker, could be a Citizens player in “less than a fortnight”.

City are said to have been put off a move for Monaco’s Benjamin Mendy, after the Ligue 1 side slapped a £40 million price tag on the Frenchman.
And that has reportedly seen them to turn to Bertrand, despite links to Tottenham’s Danny Rose earlier this year.

Pep Guardiola’s side have already confirmed the signing of Monaco playmaker Bernardo Silva, with Benfica also announcing the transfer of goalkeeper Ederson to the Etihad Stadium.
And Bertrand looks likely to be among the next batch of City additions, with the third-placed side ready to double his £55,000-a-week wages, according to Sky Sports.
Southampton’s Virgil Van Dijk
Reports suggest Southampton are also set to lose centre-back Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool.
Are City right to target Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand over Tottenham’s Danny Rose?
