Sporting Lisbon centre-back Daniel Carrico is being linked with a move to Manchester City as Roberto Mancini looks for defenders
The 21-year-old Portugal ace has been in top form for his club recently and stopped in-form Everton striker Louis Saha impressively in Sporting's recent 3-0 win over the Merseysiders.
Carrico has been watched by City several times in recent weeks and is also interesting Valencia and Atletico Madrid - the team he faces in Europa League action on Thursday night.
