Per Fabrizio Romano, the Uzbekistan international is a target for Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle United.
However, City may jump to the front of the queue this winter as they target new defenders.
Club captain Kyle Walker may be sold as early as this winter, while they have injuries in those positions as well.
Manager Pep Guardiola indicated in interviews that he needs reinforcements this winter to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
