Man City to make approach for Valencia forward Lee Kang-in?

Manchester City are readying a bid for Valencia forward Lee Kang-in, according to a report.

The 19-year-old was a regular from the bench in La Liga last season and has started six of Valencia's 11 games this term.

Spanish outlet La Razon suggests that Lee is unhappy at the Mestalla, however, and will not extend his contract beyond the end of next season.

Man City are said to be monitoring developments and are among those waiting to move for the South Korea international, whose release clause is set at €80m (£72.4m).

Valencia are expected to cash in for a far smaller price should Lee not put pen to paper before next summer, though, having already lost Ferran Torres to City for a cut-price fee earlier this year in similar circumstances.
