Real Madrid centre-back Raul Albiol is a transfer target for Premier League leaders Manchester City, according to AS.
City manager Roberto Mancini is reportedly keen to bolster his defensive options this month and has placed Albiol high on his wishlist.
The Spanish international joined Madrid from Valencia in 2009 but has found regular starting opportunities hard to come by.
Los Blancos coach Jose Mourinho is thought to want around £8m for the 26-year-old.
