Considering the possibility of Phillips leaving the club and Mateus Nunes not being able to find his groove at Manchester City, the Blues will continue to strengthen their midfield position this summer.
If you want to buy world-class, according to the latest news from journalist Ben Jacobs, Manchester City already have their own target for recruitment. He is Guimaraes, the midfield ace who has shone at Newcastle United in the last three seasons.
Guimarães, a popular Brazil international, is 26 years old and in the prime of his career. Fans who have watched the Premier League know that Guimaraes is definitely an all-round midfielder. The data shows that Guimarães is almost a 360-degree player without dead ends, and he is impeccable in six technical indicators such as speed, strength, defense, dribbling, shooting, and passing, and his skills are very comprehensive.
The most rare thing is that as a midfielder, Guimaraes not only has first-class interception and stealing ability, but also has super attacking attributes and creativity in the front court, and when the team needs to switch from defense to attack, he is the best offensive playmaker. The stats speak for themselves, with Guimaraes contributing 17 goals and 16 assists in 107 appearances over the past three seasons. It truly explains what it means to be good both offensively and defensively.
According to the latest news, the £100 million release clause in Guimaraes' contract has expired. In other words, if Manchester City buy Guimaraes at this time, they will not have to spend £100 million. It is reported that Manchester City are ready to make an offer of £80 million for Guimaraes. Although Manchester City's offer is not low, it is estimated that Newcastle United will not agree easily. Because Guimaraes is too important to Newcastle United, let go, and the team will lose a backbone that stabilizes the hearts of the army.
It is reported that in addition to the Blue Moon Army Manchester City, there are currently four top European giants such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain who are frantically chasing this world-class ace iron waist. These four European giants, like Manchester City, are also bent on getting this all-round beast waist who can both attack and defend.
In view of this, if Manchester City really wants to get Guimaraes, in addition to being willing to spend money, they must also take practical action early, otherwise, they may be taken by other European giants at any time. At that time, if Guimaraes is cut off by other European giants in advance, Manchester City will have to regret it. Therefore, it is hoped that Manchester City can make a decision and sign the popular Brazil international as soon as possible.
