Manchester City will have to do battle with two of Europe's heavyweights in order to sign Yacine Brahimi.

L'Equipe reports that City are in a three-way race for the FC Porto star along with German giants Bayern Munich and French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain.

Algerian winger Brahimi, 25, only joined Porto from Granada last summer but his performances for the Portuguese club this term have attracted plenty of interest from European clubs including the aforementioned trio who are being linked with summer moves for his services.
