City rivals Manchester United have also been closely linked with the young forward.
Under has made no secret of the fact he wants to play Premier League football.
“The league I really want to play in is the Premier League and I would also love La Liga,” Under told beIN Turkey.
City have a history of snapping up the hottest talent from the Super Lig.
The Manchester based outfit signed Enes Unal from Bursaspor in 2015.
The Turkish international went onto become a success on loan at FC Twente, netting 19 times and earning himself a £12 million move to Villarreal.
City made a £10 million profit on Unal without the striker ever playing for the club.
Unal was unable to play in the Premier League due to not having a work permit.
Under could run into similar trouble but he would have a shorter wait as the 19-year-old is already a regular call up to the Turkish national team.
The rising star has actually scored in both his two starts for Turkey – against Moldova and Kosovo.
