Multiple reports indicate that Manchester City is keen on securing the services of a prominent and versatile player, one admired by Erling Haaland, to outmaneuver Real Madrid in the race for his signature.
News regarding Manchester City’s transfer plans suggests that despite boasting one of the strongest squads in Europe under Pep Guardiola’s leadership, the club is actively strategizing to bolster its ranks in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Even with potential triumphs in all competitions this season, the Etihad hierarchy recognizes the importance of refreshing the squad with new acquisitions.
One player prominently linked with Manchester City is Lucas Paqueta, the dynamic midfielder currently plying his trade for West Ham United and the Brazilian national team.
While a move to City was reportedly in the works last summer, it fell through due to allegations surrounding betting activities. However, recent indications suggest that City maintains a strong interest in Paqueta, who would undoubtedly relish the opportunity to join the reigning Premier League champions.
Additionally, City has secured the signing of Savio, a promising 19-year-old talent from Troyes. Currently on loan at Girona in La Liga, Savio has showcased his potential with impressive contributions, tallying five goals and seven assists this season.
In the midst of transfer speculation, there are also ongoing contract negotiations with key players, with the club hopeful of securing an extension with goalkeeper Ederson in the near future.
One significant target on Manchester City’s radar is Achraf Hakimi, the talented right-back currently plying his trade at Paris Saint-Germain. Reports suggest that City is actively plotting a move for Hakimi to preempt Real Madrid’s interest in the player.
The £239,000-a-week star was previously touted as a potential replacement for Kyle Walker last summer, although the Englishman ultimately opted to remain at the Etihad.
As Manchester City vies for Hakimi’s signature, the club is positioned as a formidable contender alongside Real Madrid in the race for the highly sought-after defender.
With Hakimi’s potential departure from PSG looming, a summer transfer seems increasingly likely, presenting City with a prime opportunity to bolster their defensive ranks.
