Manchester City are in the market for a left back if they sell Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The 28-year-old Argentine defender was on the target list at a number of Premier League clubs this summer, including Chelsea and Leicester.
South American football expert Tim Vickery told Sky Sports:
“City would be interesting as a move because Tagliafico is Argentina’s first-choice left-back. He’s 28 so he doesn’t have much of a sell-on value, and I don’t think he’s the greatest defender in the world and he doesn’t give you what an Andrew Robertson does at Liverpool – the constant attacking
“But City could set up in a different way. They’ve got wingers to give you width, and if you’re looking for a full-back who can construct from deep and arrive as an element of surprise, then Tagliafico is quite classy and could fill that role for City.
“Looking back at their Champions League exit to Lyon, he was the type of player that was missing from the team that day. If this move does go through, I do feel he has things to bring to the table.”
