Manchester City is hitting hard this winter. Desire to strengthen the team and/or anticipation of a possible ban on recruitment in the context of the famous trial of the century; the Cityzens have already put 120 million euros on the table to enlist striker Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt) and central defender Abdukodir Khusanov (RC Lens). The formalization of the two operations is imminent, while photos of the two players with the jersey of their new team are already circulating on social networks.

Vitor Reis, the central defender of Palmeiras, could follow and arrive at the Etihad Stadium in the coming days. An XXL transfer window as the Cityzens want to continue their rise in the Premier League standings, having climbed to sixth place in the table following their 6-0 victory at Ipswich this weekend. They will challenge PSG in the Champions League this week, and even if these reinforcements will not be able to play against Paris, they will logically be very useful for the next rounds of the competition in the event of qualification.

A departure after only 6 months?

And the Skyblues winter shopping isn't over. As indicated this weekend, Manchester City wants to recruit a midfielder by the end of the month. There is still this desire to replace the injured Rodri, and one candidate is the favorite: Douglas Luiz. Arriving in Turin from Aston Villa last summer, the 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder is struggling to find his feet in Italy, and City are already considering a loan with an option to buy. For the moment, the management of the Piedmont club wants a definitive sale or a loan with a compulsory purchase option in the event of departure. He only started 3 times in Serie A, making 12 appearances in total in the league.

Little, for a player who was a reference in England, and for whom the Old Lady paid an amount of around 50 million euros. In the past, he had already been coveted by Pep Guardiola, who could therefore finally have him under his command within a few days… One thing is certain, and even if it is not Douglas Luiz, City wants to enlist a midfielder this winter. This is what the Manchester Evening Newswho adds that the option Andrea Cambiaso (Juventus) is always an option for the defense.
