Man city tabled £40M bid for Lyons ndombele

Manchester City are mulling over a £40 million bid for Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, according to the Telegraph.
The 21-year-old caught the eye in Lyon's surprise 2-1 win against the Blues in the Champions League this season, and it is thought Pep Guardiola has earmarked him to provide competition for Fernandinho at the base of City's midfield.
The City manager was left disappointed in the summer when targets Fred and Jorginho opted to sign for Manchester United and Chelsea respectively, with Fernandinho remaining as City's only specialist in the position.
The Brazilian, 33, played 46 matches the Etihad outfit last season, and there is concern about his capacity to fulfil such a workload again this campaign.
Ndombele - who signed for Lyon from Amiens in the summer of 2017 - has twice been capped by France boss Didier Deschamps and his showing at the Etihad in September left City midfielder
Bernardo Silva duly impressed."The defensive midfielder, Ndombele, was very good," Bernardo remarked. "He's a very good player."
It was previously reported that City would have to break their transfer record - Riyad Mahrez's £57 million fee - to land Ndombele's services, with Lyon said to have placed a £70 million asking price on him.
Ndombele made 32 Ligue 1 appearances for Lyon last season, creating 44 changces. Only Memphis Depay and Nabil Fekir - a former Liverpool target - were involved in more.
