Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing highly-rated French teenager, Antoine Dubois, from Ligue 1 side, Olympique Marseille. Dubois, 19, has been making waves with his dazzling performances for Marseille, attracting the attention of several top European clubs.
Sources close to the club suggest that City scouts have been monitoring Dubois for several weeks, impressed by his technical ability, pace, and eye for a pass. The young midfielder is seen as a potential long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, although City's strategy is likely to be more gradual.
Marseille are reluctant to sell their star player but are aware of the significant interest. They are expected to demand a substantial fee for Dubois, potentially exceeding €80 million.
Rumour Rating: 7/10 - While City have shown interest, the fee and Marseille's stance could prove a significant obstacle.
