Manchester City are reportedly preparing a January bid for Paris Saint-Germain attacker Javier Pastore.
The Argentine joined PSG from Palermo in 2011 and is fast closing in on 200 appearances for the French giants in all competitions.
Angel di Maria's arrival in the summer has harmed the 26-year-old's involvement this season, however, and he has only started six Ligue 1 matches this term.
According to Tuttomercatoweb.com, Man City are aware of Pastore's frustration in Paris and will make their move when the winter transfer window opens at the start of 2016.
Last season, Pastore scored six times and registered 10 assists in 43 games for PSG.
