AC and Inter Milan to battle it out for Manchester City winger Jesus Navas
The Spain star scored just once last season
JESUS NAVAS could prompt a pre-season Milan derby as both Italian clubs are after him.
The Manchester City winger is wanted by Serie A neighbours AC and Inter Milan for a discounted fee ahead of his contract expiring next season.
According to Calciomercato.it, the two Milan clubs are interested in bringing in an experienced winger and are keen to tie up a cut-price deal for the 30-year-old Spain star.
Navas was a favourite of City's former boss Manuel Pellegrini but there are no guarantees he will be a regular fixture with new manager Pep Guardiola.
City have reportedly agreed terms with Navas' compatriot Nolito, who has impressed for Spain during Euro 2016.
The Etihad club are said to have matched the Celta Vigo forward's £14 million release clause and put a three-year deal on the table, according to Spanish outlet TV 3.
Nolito signing for City could make it tougher for Navas to get into the starting line-up under Guardiola.
While Nolito predominantly plays on the left, rather than Navas' favoured right flank, his move could see another winger switch sides.
Navas made 52 appearances for City last season, helping them to win the League Cup, but scored just once, when they lost at Everton 2-1 in the first leg of the semi-final of the same competition, in January.
