The former Premier League champions have now joined Liverpool in the race to sign 17-year-old striker Will Wright from Salford City.
But now, City are preparing a counter-offer, believed to be over £100,000 with add-ons.
The teenager, currently in the second year of his scholarship at Salford, has been a standout across all levels.
Well, he’s on the radar of Europe’s elite.

Wright may still be raw, but he’s already made his senior debut.
That came in January — ironically, against Manchester City in the FA Cup.
No wonder he’s caught the attention of not just Liverpool and City, but also Arsenal, Brentford, Leicester, and Burnley.
Despite the buzz, sources say Wright favours a move to Anfield.
They’ve already added Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea and are chasing Fulham’s Set Ridgeon too.
With both Liverpool and City pushing hard, Salford’s co-owners — yes, that Gary Neville and David Beckham — now have a big call to make.
