Manchester City rushes on a recruit at € 60 million

Yesterday afternoon, Manchester City was humiliated by Arsenal in the Premier League. Indeed, the Mancunians bowed 5 to 1. A terrible defeat for the troops of Pep Guardiola, who really have a lot of trouble this 2024-25 season. This, despite the arrival of several reinforcements during the winter transfers market. Indeed, Adbukodir Khusavov, Omar Marmoush and Vitor Reis arrived. They were joined by Christian McFarlane, who came from the New York City FC last week.

But English leaders still want one to two additional recruits. They therefore monitor the right side market to replace Kyle Walker, who signed at AC Milan. And quickly, Andrea Cambiasso caught their eye. But unless there is a turnaround, it would rather arrive this summer 2025 in Manchester. An operation whose amount will be between 60 and 70 M € depending on the various sources. On the other hand, the Champions of England will not wait this summer to strengthen themselves in the midfield.

City wants to complete a recruit in the middle

A sector of play where they notably lost Rodri. For the past few days, they also have been tracking Douglas Luiz, who knows the club well. We even talked about a loan with a compulsory purchase option of € 35 million for the player under contract until 2029 with Juventus. But this dossier is at a standstill. Ditto for plan B, namely Ederson (Atalanta). In an impasse, the residents of Etihad Stadium decided to accelerate on another track. Indeed, Sky Sports Assures that City hopes to find an agreement this Monday with FC Porto for the transfer of the midfielder, Nico Gonzalez (23 years old).

The two clubs discuss and the exchanges are rather positive. The English media indicates that the idea of ​​Manchester City is not to pay the amount of its release clause, which is currently fixed at just over € 60 million. But for their part, the Portuguese insist that the English club pay the amount of the clause. They have a few hours to agree to complete this file.
