It’s been a habit for several seasons now: Manchester City is deploying major resources to allow Pep Guardiola to lift the first Champions League in its history. It’s done during the season which has just ended with the hat-trick won by the Skyblues, between the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Cup with big ears. However, the English champion does not intend to stop there…
Because yes, the main objective has finally been achieved, but the Spanish technician intends to get a second C1, he who is under contract with the Cityzens until June 2025. And with the departure of Riyad Mahrez and the uncertain future by Bernardo Silva – who is awaiting the offer from FC Barcelona, the Mancunian management is already leaning to offer itself a reinforcement for its offensive sector, and would turn to a surprise from the Premier League.
Olise and Doku also in the viewfinder
Indeed, according to the latest information from the Daily Star, Manchester City would watch the Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma, a real revelation of the league across the Channel. The British tabloid adds that Guardiola would appreciate his profile and that he would see in the author of 10 goals and 8 assists, in 41 games in all competitions last year, the successor to Mahrez, who left for Al-Ahli (Saudi D1 ) against €35 million.
A second major recruit therefore for the Skyblues after the broken piggy bank for the Croatian central Josko Gvardiol (90 M€), who became the most expensive defender in history. In the event of failure of the track leading to the Samurai Blue international (17 caps, 7 goals), the City board would also work on the tracks leading to Frenchman Michael Olise (Crystal Palace) and Belgian Jérémy Doku (Stade Rennais ).
