In a press conference after the match, Pep Guardiola did not hide his intention to strengthen his team. “We need to add players. That’s a certainty. We are having difficulties, especially at the back and in the midfield.”confided the Spanish technician for Prime Video.

With this in mind, Caught Offside reveals that Manchester City are closely monitoring AS Monaco’s promising young French striker Maghnes Akliouch. Already in the sights of other European big names, the 22-year-old player is attracting the attention of the Skyblues with a view to possible recruitment during the winter transfer window.
However, affording the services of the native of Tremblay-en-France this winter seems to be an arduous task. The British media emphasizes that it is unlikely that AS Monaco will agree to part ways with Akliouch during the season, especially as his contract runs until June 2028.
