http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/ ... eplace-lesManchester City are targeting Newcastle's Fabricio Coloccini and Liverpool’s Daniel Agger as possible replacements for Joleon Lescott.
The Blues are looking to bolster their defensive options this summer, leaving a question mark over the future of the England defender.
With Roberto Mancini keen on the pair, along with Athletic Bilbao defender Javi Martinez, the 29-year-old England stopper could be the odd man out at Eastlands.
Lescott, who had the best season of his career when he helped Manchester City to the Premier League title and starred for England during Euro 2012, has just two-years left on his current deal.
Talks on a possible extension were always planned to take place after this summer's tournament in Poland and Ukraine, along with the likes of Gareth Barry and James Milner, but now his future in the North West is uncertain.
Manchester City's spending won't end with a defender though with the champions also keen on Arsenal skipper Robin Van Persie and Napoli striker Edinson Cavani.
-------------------------------------
Where did this sort of thing come from? Lescott has had a very good season, so why would the club let him go? There are other defenders to go first - Kolo Toure and Savic.
It's talksport, their sources are as good as my Denis Suarez to Barca IE Rubbish.
Though last night they reported via Guillem Balague that Drogba is set for a move to Barcelona allegedly.
Also be absoloutely luidcrous to drop Joleon, he may have the odd slip up in him but which defender doesn't?
