Manchester City reportedly remain undeterred in their efforts to sign Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.
City were heavily linked with a move to sign the Argentine over the summer and remain the No. 1 favourites to secure his services if he leaves the Catalan giants at the end of the current season, but according to The Sun, the Premier League giants are aiming to bring him to the Etihad at the turn of the year.
Manchester City have announced the signing of Ferran Torres from Valencia.
The Spain Under-21 international has put pen to a paper on a five-year deal which will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2025.
The winger becomes Pep Guardiola’s first signing of the summer as a replacement for Leroy Sane, who move to Bayern Munich earlier this summer.
Manchester City have reportedly entered pole position in the race to complete a deal for Juventus teenager Pablo Moreno.
The 18-year-old forward came through the youth system at Barca before joining the Italian champions in July 2018.
According to Marca, Barcelona were keen to re-sign the teenager during the summer transfer window, but the Premier League giants have won the race for the Spain Under-18 international.
Chelsea reportedly face fresh competition from Manchester City for the signing of Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell during this summer’s transfer window.
The 23-year-old is believed to be Chelsea’s number one defensive target ahead of the 2020-21 campaign as they attempt to bolster the left side of their back four.
Manchester City have been linked with a move for the Ajax starlet Sontje Hansen.
The Dutchman made his Eredivisie debut for Ajax in December before the season was halted amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The teenager’s impressive performances at youth level have reportedly caught the attention of a number of top European clubs, and according to Goal, Manchester City are looking to bring the 18-year-old striker to the Etihad.
