Manchester City will want to make up for it next year. Author of a remarkable treble during the 2022-2023 season, the Skyblues had notably won their first Champions League. An achievement for Pep Guardiola who had completely transformed the game of the residents of the Etihad Stadium for many years. But here it is, after a prosperous period at the end of which it seemed complicated to see who was capable of stopping Erling Haaland’s teammates, nothing went as planned for the Cityzens. Less impressive in the game, the latter won the Premier League but failed in the FA Cup final against Manchester United, a few weeks after their elimination in the quarter-finals of the C1 against Real Madrid.
Obviously, they will have to do better next year and this may involve a well-managed transfer window. Last summer, the Skyblues did not necessarily know how to replace İlkay Gündoğan and Riyad Mahrez, despite the interesting signings that are Jérémy Doku and Mateo Kovacic. In order not to make the same mistakes, the Manchester board has already started to get active on the transfer market to thwart Real Madrid’s approaching European hegemony. But with the Euro and the Copa América, the transfer window is struggling to get going for the reigning English champions who have not, for the moment, recruited anyone. Eager to strengthen the offensive sector, the Skyblues have nevertheless targeted a sensation from this end of the Euro.
Manchester City want to quickly recruit Dani Olmo
In fact, according to information from Sky ItalyManchester City would be following in the footsteps of Dani Olmo. A substitute with Spain at the start of the Euro, the RB Leipzig metronome took advantage of Pedri’s absence to shine as soon as he came into play during the quarter-final of La Roja. Brilliant against Spain in the semi-final, the 26-year-old attacking midfielder will be expected to deliver this Sunday in the final against England. Regardless of the outcome of this final, the former Dinamo Zagreb player has already succeeded in his tournament by putting a serious spotlight on his profile. Recognized as a real talent on the Old Continent for years, injuries have somewhat slowed down his irresistible progress.
A fan of his compatriot’s profile, Pep Guardiola has had Dani Olmo on his radar for years. This Euro has had the effect of a revelation, so much so that our Italian colleagues claim that Manchester City wants to quickly close the deal to attract him. This is good, the release clause of the Spanish midfielder is set at 60 million euros until July 15. Thus, the need to quickly conclude this deal is a priority for the Mancunian leaders. Chelsea and Barcelona are also on the trail of Dani Olmo but Manchester City would be the most stubborn with the idea of attracting the native of Terrassa. Time is running out and it will therefore be necessary to conclude the deal quickly!
