Manchester City are the only Premier League team that could sign Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, according to a former Citizens stars.
The French forward is in the final year of his contract with the French champions, which could see another transfer saga unfolding at the end of the season.
Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move Real Madrid, but former France international Gael Clichy Man City could challenge for his signature due to Pep Guardiola's presence.

"Mbappe going to City will be game over! Mbappe reminds me of Thierry Henry as he can pop up with vital goals and has so much charisma and confidence. I haven't seen a player with this much confidence since Thierry," Clichy told Genting Casino.
"Him going to City would be great, but as I've said before, the Premier League is the most challenging league in the world. Mbappe's favourite club is seemingly Real Madrid - and that's understandable due to their history and status. If he leaves PSG, I can't see him going anywhere before Real Madrid. Not Liverpool, not Arsenal, not Man United, and not Tottenham.
"The only Premier League club who I feel could tempt Kylian would be City due to Pep Guardiola's influence as well as what City have achieved over the last few years. City also have the financial muscle to maintain their status. However, Real Madrid can do all of this, too.
"They could create a project around Mbappe and I can't see a reason why he wouldn't go there. PSG is his boyhood club, but his next-favourite team is Madrid. They can give him everything they need to become the next Ballon d'Or winner.
"I can't see him going anywhere else, but it would be great to have him in England. It may be tough here, but he's got all the tools to succeed. As much as I want that, I think he's destined for Spain."
