Manchester City have recently scouted 22-year-old English Leicester City defender Ben Nelson, who was admired by former Leicester manager Enzo Maresca. Maresca, who now seems set to join Manchester City, had also expressed an interest in bringing Nelson to Chelsea last summer. According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are also targeting the centre-back and are considering a move. The England U21 international joined Leicester in July 2023 and is under contract until 2027. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €1.20m.
