As the speculation continues, reports from the The Athletic claim the two clubs are already in talks, with a €60m offer expected to arrive at the Etihad Stadium.

Speed could be vital to secure a deal for the striker, on his return from Olympic duty, but Atletico Madrid are not the only interested party.

As per a fresh update from the Daily Mirror, Arsenal are also keen, but the Gunners would need to sell players to fund a bid for the 24-year-old.
