Manchester City have made the first move in the pursuit of Swansea’s Scott Sinclair, and have made a bid according to The Daily Mail.
The talented winger represented Team GB at the Olympics this summer and has played an important part of the Liberty Stadium side’s rise to the Premier League and consolidation in the top flight.
However, with less than a year left on his existing contract with the Welsh team and a raft of leading Premier League sides monitoring the player’s situation, his future is in doubt.
Despite reported interest from Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United, the Premier League champions have made the first move in the race to sign Sinclair.
Roberto Mancini’s men are said to have made an offer of around £5.5 million to Michael Laudrup’s side, with add-ons taking the potential fee to £8 million.
Swansea are said to be weighing up the offer but are still hopeful that Sinclair will opt to stay and renew his contract.
