After bringing in the likes of Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders, Viana is eager to add another midfield option next month.
Sky Sports says featuring high on Viana's shortlist is Atalanta ace Ederson.
The experienced Brazil international has played a key role in La Dea's success over the past two seasons, but Atalanta risk losing him next year.
With new contract talks stalling, Viana has spied a chance of tempting Ederson to England, where City believe Atalanta are prepared to drop their initial €60m valuation of the midfielder.
