According to Guillem Balague, Premier League champions Manchester City are among the top clubs of Europe that are interested in signing CSKA Moscow and Russia national team defender Mario Fernandes.
Fernandes has impressed with his performances during World Cup 2018, when Russia reached to quarterfinals.
Brazilian born player scored one of the goals against Croatia, but missed during penalty shoot-out.
Fernandes has also played a good season at CSKA. His performances against Real Madrid in Champions League group stage were also incredible.
“Mario Fernandes (CSKA Moscow) followed closely by Manchester United, City, Bayern, Chelsea (despite ban) and even Barcelona. Cost, €25m.
Brazilian born, Russian international, quality, pace, tall, can run for two days, ready to make the jump to the top. A summer bargain” Balague wrote on Twitter.

With having Kyle Walker and Danilo in some matches, Pep Guardiola could consider Fernandes as an alternative option for the next season.
