Man City join chase for Djibril Sidibe

Premier League giants Manchester City are hot on the trail of AS Monaco full-back Djibril Sidibe, according to Le 10 Sport.

The Citizens plan to offload Bacary Sagna at the end of the season and they see the Ligue 1 starlet as a perfect long-term successor.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was in the stands as PSG and AS Monaco squared off a couple of weeks back and while he was scouting his next Champions League opponents, the Catalan coach reportedly also made a check on Sidibe.

The right-sided defender, who can also play on the left hand side, has been in excellent form since arriving from Lille, having managed 3 goals and 5 assists in 32 competitive appearances for the Principality club.

Djibril Sidibe has also been linked with moves to Barcelona and Manchester United, meaning that he could be joining a top European side at the end of the season.
