According to a Football Insider story, Manchester City are prepared to pay to complete the transfer of Achraf Hakimi because Pep Guardiola is reportedly a great fan of the Paris Saint-Germain star.
What are the most recent Man City moving news?
Declan Rice, a midfielder for West Ham United, is expected to command a high price from Man City, who made a £90 million offer for the England international but was quickly turned down by the Hammers.
However, with Kyle Walker’s future in doubt, there are other positions that require bolstering in addition to central midfield. Given that Hakimi and Nahuel Molina have been linked to moves to the Etihad Stadium, a new right-back may be needed.
The PSG defender has been named as a player who may assist City in creating a team that is capable of contending on all fronts next season, and there has now been an update on their pursuit.
The Sky Blues are now “ready to pay” to finalize the signing of the 24-year-old, according to a Football Insider report, as they have a keen interest in his talents.
The PSG defender has been named as a player who may aid City’s chase, and it is noted that Guardiola wants to create a team that is capable of competing on all fronts next season.
Football Insider claims that the Sky Blues are now “ready to pay” to finalize the deal of the 24-year-old since they are very interested in his talents.
Any player operating in a Guardiola system needs to be an assured passer of the ball, and the right-back fits the bill in that regard, while he has also been hailed as “sensational” by journalist David Amoyal.
Hakimi could be a perfect long-term replacement for Walker, and Man City should now look to test the waters with an opening offer – showing that Guardiola is not messing around in the market with midfielder Mateo Kovacic set to become the first signing of the summer.
