Fulham and West Ham are among a number of Premier League clubs interested in England’s European Under-21 Championship-winning captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
He also won the Championship while on loan at Burnley last season.
It is understood City value Harwood-Bellis at about £15m.
Harwood-Bellis, who is entering the final year of his contract at City, was name-checked by England manager Gareth Southgate during the senior international break last month.
His centre-back partner Levi Colwill was part of the England squad during the last international break and figures at the FA believe Harwood-Bellis is one of a number of the current U21 team able to progress to the senior squad.
