"I was very impressed by the talent of Maxwel Cornet, there is a lot of talent in France …" the manager said, quoted by RMC Sport.
According to the Italian Calciomercato website, the Etihad team is targeting the 22-year-old after impressing his coach at the European meeting between the two clubs on Tuesday.

The report goes on to say that the winners of the Premier League "will try" to sign the Ivorian international, but this will be done at the end of the season.
Bruno Génésio did not start Cornet in the league, but he has played more than 200 minutes in Ligue 1 in eight substitute games and has seen his playing time limited since his arrival in Lyon in 2015.
Cornet's contract with the French club is until 2021.
Manchester City is often associated with a player after the impression against him, but this may have some merit. Ederson is a player that Guardiola signed after being impressed by opposition management Bayern Munich that day, while the Spaniard admired City.
