Manchester City are interested in RB Salzburg striker Erling Haaland.
El Desmarque says City boss Pep Guardiola is a fan of the Norway international.
Haaland has emerged as an option should City lose Gabriel Jesus.
Also offering City an advantage is the player's father Alfie is a former Sky Blues favourite.
The 19-year-old has been a revelation this season, scoring 12 goals in 10 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga and grabbing the attention of Europe by scoring six goals in the Champions League.
