The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Manchester City eye possible reinforcements.

The 2018-19 champions did not bring in a single player during the January transfer window, despite suffering a defensive shortage for much of the campaign so far.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Etihad.

Friday morning's Manchester City transfer talk news roundup:

Manchester City 'agree personal terms with Ferran Torres'

Manchester City have reportedly agreed personal terms with Valencia attacker Ferran Torres ahead of a proposed move during this summer's transfer window.

The 20-year-old has been in impressive form for Los Che during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring six times and contributing eight assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.

The attacker's contract at the Mestalla is due to expire next summer, though, and his future has been the subject of much speculation over the last few months.

Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus are among the clubs to be credited with an interest in the Spain Under-21 international, but according to Eurosport, Torres has agreed personal terms with City.

The report claims that the youngster's representatives met with the Premier League giants on Wednesday, where a 'total agreement' was reached 'on the terms of the deal'.

Torres has managed four goals and five assists in 33 La Liga outings this term.

Manchester City 'interested in Nicolas Tagliafico'

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Ajax defender Nicolas Tagliafico during this summer's transfer window.

The 27-year-old recently suggested that he would be leaving his Dutch club ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, and a number of clubs are believed to be in the hunt for his signature.

Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are just three of the teams to be linked with the Argentina international, who could allegedly be available for a figure in the region of £22m.

However, according to Argentinean journalist Lucas Scagliola, City have also identified the left-back as a potential transfer target in the upcoming market.

Tagliafico enjoyed an impressive 2019-20 campaign for Ajax, scoring five times and contributing seven assists in 38 appearances in all competitions.

The defender's current contract in Amsterdam has little under two years left to run.
