Manchester City are monitoring the progress of Sporting Lisbon defender Daniel Carrico, with a view to a transfer to Eastlands, according to The Mirror.
The 21-year-old centre-back is reportedly wanted by manager Roberto Mancini to act as one of the players available for cover if first-choice centre halves Kolo Toure or Joleon Lescott are unavailable for any reason.
Carrico graduated out of the Portuguese club's youth academy in 2007, and spent a split season on loan with Olhanense and AEL Limassol before returning to his mother club in 2008.
He has since established himself as an integral part of the Lisbon-based outfit, and is believed to have attracted potential suitors with his stellar performances.
The young defender has also represented Portugal at Under-19 and Under-21 levels, and it is said that City have had their eye on the budding talent for some time now.
Spanish clubs Atletico Madrid and Valencia are also believed to be in the running to secure the player's services.
