Manchester City targets signing Pedro Neto and European duo in anticipation of Savinho's departure
English club Manchester City is targeting signing Portuguese Pedro Neto and another European duo during the summer transfer window, in anticipation of the possible departure of Brazilian Savinho, who is wanted by Tottenham.
English club Manchester City has included Portuguese international Pedro Neto, a Chelsea first-team player, in its list of targeted wingers during the current summer transfer window, in anticipation of the departure of its Brazilian player Savinho. The English newspaper "Daily Mail" reported on Friday that the Premier League runners-up are also monitoring Senegalese Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain and Ivorian Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig. It indicated that this move came after Tottenham expressed its desire to sign Brazilian Savinho, which will not happen until Italian coach Enzo Maresca finds a suitable replacement. Neto (26), who participated in the last World Cup, was among City's interests before his move to Chelsea from Wolverhampton for £51 million. It noted that Maresca has a good relationship with the player from when he was a coach for the London club. The "Daily Mail" said City also admires Chelsea's French player Malo Gusto, but not at the demanded price of £75 million, noting that the London club has loaned its Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho to Aston Villa, who also wants Senegalese Nicolas Jackson. Maresca inherited City's bench from his Spanish predecessor Pep Guardiola, who led the team for 10 seasons, winning 20 titles in all competitions. Maresca said in a press conference on Friday that he will not make drastic changes to the team's playing style, endorsing the approach Guardiola followed. Maresca explained that his previous work periods as Guardiola's assistant, in addition to the club's stable structure, gave him the confidence to oversee a smooth transition.
