Manchester City will make an immediate move for Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi in January.
Zubimendi was heavily linked with a summer move to City's Premier League rivals Liverpool before opting against the move at the last minute.
The Spain international changed his mind and wanted to stay in San Sebastian, but the situation has reportedly changed since then.
Liverpool are rumored to be open to a revival of their interest, but City are the new frontrunners according to multiple sources.
According to an exclusive report from ESPN, City ownership will fund a major squad update in January after making record profits this year.
City's poor form has forced a change and Pep Guardiola is prioritizing Zubimendi to lead the revolution at the Etihad Stadium.
Zubimendi still has a £52m release clause in his contract in the Basque Country, which City can easily afford, as the club prepares to heavily back Guardiola to revive their title defense in 2025.
