Manchester City 'scout Croatian teenager ahead of potential bid'

Manchester City are reportedly considering a move for Hajduk Split teenager Stipe Biuk, having scouted the attacker during his side's win over Gorica on Saturday.

The 18-year-old has already made four appearances for his Croatian club this season, including 59 minutes of the clash with Gorica last time out.

According to Germanijak, Man City had a scout in attendance to watch the youngster at the weekend, with the Citizens considering launching an offer during this summer's transfer window.

The report claims that the Premier League champions have also previously watched Biuk in action, having been alerted to his progress over the last couple of years.

Biuk - capped by Croatia Under-21s - has scored three times and registered three assists in 15 first-team appearances for his current side since making his debut.

Hajduk are believed to value the attacker in excess of €20m (£17m) and are keen on a sale this summer due to their financial problems.
