Man City 'want to sign Paris Saint-Germain teenager'

Paris Saint-Germain teenager Edouard Michut is reportedly a target for Manchester City.

The 17-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut for the French champions but has already been likened to Italian midfielder Marco Verratti by sections of the French media.

Michut, who is also thought to be interesting Barcelona, has largely turned out for PSG's Under-17 side this season but has also been involved with their Under-19s.

According to Sky Sports News, City want to buy out the remaining year of Michut's youth contract, although they would also be prepared to wait until next summer to potentially sign him on a free.

The report, though, claims that clubs from Spain and Italy are both keeping a close eye on developments as PSG struggle to agree a new deal with the youngster.

Michut, who has been capped at Under-17 level by France, primarily operates as an attacking midfielder.
