Manchester City are keen on marking Atletico Madrid's Renan Lodi, as per reports. The Citizens have been on the lookout for another left-back following the flight of Oleksandr Zinchenko recently. They were vigorously connected with a move for Marc Cucurella however were not able to meet Brighton and Hove Albion's high valuation. Chelsea quickly jumping all over the chance and figured out how to get it over the line for the 24-year-old. Presently, according to The Telegraph, City are evaluating a few players on a waitlist that likewise incorporates Brazil global Lodi. The Manchester monsters are apparently near marking Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht yet the 21-year-old could be lent out this season assuming that they figure out how to sign another full-back. Lodi has been on the books of Atletico beginning around 2019 and has shown up across all contests, netting six objectives and nine helps. In any case, his game time has endured since the appearance of Reinildo Mandava who at first played as a back-up to the Brazilian yet started beginning routinely towards the finish of the time. The 24-year-old showed up in La Liga last term yet began just multiple times. Assuming he moves to City this mid year, the Brazil worldwide is probably not going to get ordinary game time at the Etihad Stadium. Joao Cancelo is certainly not a characteristic left-back however he flourished in the position last season. He showed up, assuming an enormous part in assisting the Citizens with coming out on top for the Premier League championship. It doesn't look likely that Lodi would have the option to dislodge the Portuguese footballer thus he should be happy with a back-up job assuming that he chooses to join City. After four seasons at Atletico, Lodi's guarded slips have made Diego Simeone go to different choices now and again.

Simeone's choice to change to a 3-5-2 brought about Lodi being consigned to the seat, with Yannick Carrasco beginning the left.

As a matter of fact, Atletico even got Reinildo during the January move window to support the left-back position, however the Mozambican has gotten comfortable as a focal protector.

By and by, Atletico are as yet relying on Lodi for the impending season, however a major proposition could change all that.
