After the case Of Jong, the City could remove him to the Barça to another aim for the centre of the field

Pep Guardiola ensured when it left of the Camp Nou that would not cross in the plans of the FC Barcelona on signings, but like his tastes are very similar, often coincide in the market. This crash of interests already lived in some occasion during his stage in the Bayern of Munich and is repeating in his path like trainer of the Manchester City. This summer, in the Etihad Stadium could take decisions that would affect of full to the Catalans.

It does hardly some days, 'ESPN' already raised the voice to ensure that the 'sky blues' have put of looks in the contracting of Saúl Ñíguez, but now seems that the intention of the English group goes much more there of a possible approach. The machinery already has set up to give him to the of Santpedor a reinforcement of luxury that carries long demanding.

The technician valued does some weeks the planning for the window estival, and ensured that it could have four incorporations, of which two will be a midfield player and a left side. In addition to replacing to Benjamin Mendy that does not finish to park his physical problems, the big aim is to tie already to the wished relief of Fernandinho, key piece in his diagrams that ready to fulfil 34 years needs a mate that allow him rest and that it can assume his role to half term.

That's why the 'citizen' played it to him everything by Frenkie of Jong, but carried a disappointment when this chose to dress of Barcelona. Saving the distances, the Dutch youngster has the tactical sense, the deployment and the vision of game that also characterise to the veteran Brazilian footballer, some qualities that, again respecting his differences, also can find in the ilicitano.

In England ensure that the of the City with Saúl is more than a simple score, because it will try solve the case of immediate form. After several markets with bets fallidas that remained to half way or that did not consider ideal, has arrived the hour of the truth, because Guardiola and his assistants do not want to risk to start another campaign without the medullary very apuntalada.

The City has work to convince to Saúl

In this moment, the City is by in front of the Barça in the career by Saúl, but this does not mean that his signing was question to sew and sing. The big difficulty that both big have found with the Spanish is that it always has put above his beaux to the Athletic of Madrid, that has him tied until 2026 and with a clause of rescission of 150 million euros. This figure would block for the time being to the culés, but no to the 'citizen', that already work to do see to the crack that has arrived the moment to say goodbye to Wanda Metropolitan.
