Former English champions Manchester City have made a serious move to strengthen their wing-back position ahead of the new season. The club's management and head coach Pep Guardiola are looking to add two bright talents to their squad in the summer transfer market, having learned from the shortcomings and problems that have arisen in the defensive line during the season.
According to well-known Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, the main transfer targets of the "City" are the talented young defender "Newcastle" Tino Livramento and the talented midfielder and winger "Wolverhampton" Ryan Ait-Nouri.
Currently, the management of "Manchester City" is actively negotiating with Ait-Nouri, and it is highly likely that this young player will soon join the "City" team. The 23-year-old Ait Nouri, with his speed, technique and ability to play well in the attack, will suit Guardiola's requirements. This season, Ait Nouri has played 37 games for Wolves in the Premier League, scoring 4 goals and providing 7 assists. According to Transfermarkt experts, his transfer value is estimated at around 35 million euros.
However, the situation regarding the transfer of Tino Livramento is a little more complicated. Keeping the 22-year-old talent in their ranks remains one of Newcastle's main goals, and they are not seriously considering any offers for the player so far. The team's management is determined to keep the young player at the club at all costs. Livramento has been one of the most consistent players in his team this season, having played 37 games in the Premier League and registered 1 assist. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at around 40 million euros.
Manchester City's wing-backs have been a major problem for the past season. The team's main wing-backs have struggled with injuries and have had to move players from other positions to this line. In particular, midfielders such as Nico O'Reilly and Matheus Nunez have been forced to play outside their natural positions. This has affected Guardiola's tactics and the quality of his play, causing a serious headache for the team.
The main goal of the City management at the moment is to fill the positional gaps in the squad and create a highly competitive environment in each line. With the arrival of players such as Ait Nouri and Livramento, Guardiola will have the opportunity to develop various tactical options in the wing-backs.
If the transfers of these two players go through, Manchester City will not only strengthen their defensive line, but also hope to further strengthen their position in prestigious competitions such as the Premier League and the Champions League next season.
The team's management has made it clear that they are looking to build a strong squad that can once again compete with the best clubs in Europe by spending a lot of money and attracting quality players in this summer transfer window.
Although no final decision has been made on the transfers of Livramento and Ait Nouri, there is no doubt that these two talented players will be a priority in Manchester City's summer transfer strategy. The implementation of these transfers is also awaited with great interest by the club's fans.
What will be Manchester City's next moves in this direction during the summer transfer market? We will be able to get an answer to this question in the coming weeks. However, according to current information, Guardiola and his club are preparing for a serious transfer revolution in the summer. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
