Manchester City has now exploded in the race for a first league star of 70 million pounds sterling, with Pep Guardiola, a big fan.
Man City looking to sign another new midfielder
Man City has made major improvements to their midfielder during the summer transfer window, the Tijjani Reijnders hit the soil in the course of the Etihad stadium, winning a goal and a decisive pass for the opening match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Sports director Hugo Viana has also praised the Dutch since his arrival, saying: “Manchester City in the past has had excellent field environments like Gundo and Kevin.
“They were going very well but unfortunately, they left but they are still club legends, and it’s not easy to replace them, but I think Tijjani will be a really important player for the club for the next few years.”
After his return to City for a season, İlkay Gündoğan has since joined Galatasaray, which means that there could be space in the team for Guardiola to bring another central midfielder, and a shock decision could now be on the cards.
It is according to a teamtalk report, which declares that Man City has now exploded in the race for the Manchester United midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo, who has not yet started a match for the Red Devils this season, which has left him frustrated.
Guardiola is personally a big fan of Mainoo, considering the young central midfielder as one of the brightest perspectives in England, and there is a feeling that the ability of 20 years to dictate the game could make him a perfect adjustment to City.
The Man United Maestro has a market value of around 70 million pounds sterling, given its vast potential, with the future of the young uncertain before the transfer window of January, in the middle of the interest on the side of Guardiola, alongside Chelsea and Newcastle United.
“Generational” Mainoo would be the signature of declaration for City
It is difficult to envisage the graduate of the United Academy crossing the Manchester ditch, but the report clearly indicates that it has become unstable to Old Trafford, having wanted to go on loan during the transfer window of January.
City only knows how much the midfielder is talented, given his performance in the FA Cup 2024 final, scoring the second goal of the Red Devils 2-1 victory in Wembley and receiving the match of the match man.
The starlet also received praise from the former teammate Rasmus Hojlund, who is now loaned to Napoli, the attacker describing him as a “generational” talent.
As such, Mainoo would be a declaration signing for Manchester City, but it seems very unlikely that United is willing to sanction the midfielder by moving to his bitter rivals.
