Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala 'on Napoli radar'

Napoli are reportedly considering a loan bid for Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala.

Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala is reportedly wanted by Napoli this summer.

The 25-year-old's future at the Etihad Stadium has come under question since the arrival of manager Pep Guardiola, with the likes of Vincent Kompany, Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones expected to be ahead of him in a full-strength team.

The uncertainty around Mangala's position has alerted Napoli to his potential availability, according to Italian publication Sportmediaset.

The Serie A outfit are thought to be looking at a loan deal for the France international, which could in turn trigger Kalidou Koulibaly's move to Chelsea.

Mangala cost City more than £30m in 2014 but has not been involved under Guardiola so far this term.
