Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are plotting an ambitious raid on Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, with teenage sensation Dro Fernandez firmly in their crosshairs. The Premier League champions are prepared to table a €10 million offer for the 17-year-old midfielder—double his current market valuation.
Pep Guardiola could be set to raid his former club once again, with reports suggesting Manchester City are preparing a move for Barcelona sensation Fermin Lopez in the January transfer window.
According to Juvelive.it, the Spanish champions see the 22-year-old as the perfect long-term successor to Bernardo Silva, whose future at the Etihad remains uncertain.
Chelsea and Manchester City are poised for a high-profile summer showdown over Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, with both Premier League giants ready to swoop amid uncertainty over his PSG future.
According to Fichajes, Manchester City have now joined Chelsea in the race to sign the Italian shot-stopper, whose contract talks with PSG have reportedly stalled. Donnarumma, 26, was pivotal to the French club’s treble-winning campaign last season, pulling off a string of sensational performances—particularly in the Champions League knockout rounds.
Manchester City are reportedly setting their sights on Atletico Madrid’s veteran shot-stopper Jan Oblak, as they prepare for the possible exit of Ederson this summer.
According to reports from Fichajes, Manchester City are already drawing up contingency plans should Ederson depart, with strong interest from the Saudi Pro League fuelling speculation. In their search for a world-class replacement, Jan Oblak has emerged as a prime candidate.
Jack Grealish’s future at Manchester City is hanging in the balance, with the Premier League champions expecting summer bids for the England international. After his high-profile move from Aston Villa, the 28-year-old has struggled to consistently cement his place in Pep Guardiola’s starting XI. Now, it appears City are open to parting ways with the £100 million star.
