Manchester City have entered the race to sign PSV Eindhoven midfielder Kevin Strootman, according to talkSPORT.
The Netherlands international, who is hot property in the Eredivisie league, is expected to leave the Dutch side either by January or at the end of the season.
While it is believed that PSV are keen to keep hold of the midfielder, reports suggest that they are willing to let the 21-year-old leave for a fee in the region of £18m.
Italian outfit Inter Milan were initial favourites to nab the playmaker. However, Spanish giants Real Madrid and Premier League side City have now entered the fray to secure his signature.
