Manchester City transfer news
Pep Guardiola’s team may have one of the greatest teams in Europe, if not the strongest, but it is always prudent to plan fresh acquisitions for the summer. Even if City wins trophies again this season, a new look at the Etihad Stadium may be required, and a number of stars have been linked with departures.
Lucas Paqueta, a West Ham and Brazil midfielder, was heavily tipped to join City last summer, but the deal fell through after betting suspicions surfaced against him. However, it appears that the Citizens are still interested in him, and he would undoubtedly welcome the opportunity to join the reigning Premier League champions.
Troyes prodigy Savio is poised to join City in the summer. The 19-year-old is presently on loan at Girona in La Liga, where he has five goals and seven assists this season.
There are also crucial current players who require new contracts, and according to a recent report, Ederson is someone they hope will sign an extension soon.
Manchester City seek Achraf Hakimi.
According to AS [via Sport Witness], Manchester City are preparing a bid for Paris Saint-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi, hoping to beat Real Madrid to his services.
Manchester City is identified as a “interested party” in the report, with the £239,000-a-week star being touted as a potential replacement for Kyle Walker last summer until the Englishman opted to stay at the Etihad.
City are regarded a “rival” to Madrid in the race to capture Hakimi during the summer transfer window, with a move away from PSG being discussed.
