Manchester City ​will have to fork out £68 million if they want to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Weigl, according to the Daily Star.

The 23-year-old is one of European’s most promising young players and is being viewed as a long-term replacement for the ageing Fernandinho at the Etihad Stadium.

Dortmund are keen to keep hold of the youngster but could be resigned to losing him if City put their full weight behind a transfer bid in the January transfer window.
