4 Midfielders that Manchester City should target before the transfer window closes

#3 Danilo Pereira (FC Porto)

Danilo has left only one year on his current contract

Danilo is a Portuguese international who plays as a defensive midfielder for FC Porto in the Primeira Liga. The midfielder is only 26-years old and was a crucial part of Portugal's Euro 2016 triumph as well.

Danilo is very good in the air to supplement his excellent range of passing. The FC Porto midfielder likes to play through balls and is good with his positioning which helps him to make a large number of interceptions.

Last season he had a passing accuracy of 87.7% something which Pep Guardiola would love to see in his deep-lying midfielder. A physical monster in midfield, his ability to win aerial duels should help in protecting City's goal.

His contract expires in 2019 and has a release clause of €40m. The Citizens could get their man at a much lower price since there is only one year left on his contract.
