The Citizens are reportedly on the brink of signing Monaco left back Benjamin Mendy to yet another world-record fee -- which will total over $67 million.

A Monaco representative announced that a fee had been agreed, but Man City is yet to confirm the move. L’Equipe is also reporting that the Citizens are hot on the 23-year-old’s trail in adding to their pricy back four.

Manager Pep Guardiola and Man City have not been shy readjusting their defensive unit over the past year, adding expensive first-team choices John Stones and Kyle Walker.
