Ligue 1 strugglers AS Monaco sounded out Manchester City’s French central defender Eliaquim Mangala earlier on during this window before moving to other targets, according to France Football.
Thierry Henry’s club decided to look at other options owing to concerns that the ASM board had about Mangala’s form and fitness, with the 27-year-old having only played 3 matches – for the Manchester City reserve team – with no other competitive action, all season so far.
