City’s Transfer Carousel: Who’s Getting On, Who’s Getting Off?
Manchester City’s summer transfer window is a game of musical chairs. Pep Guardiola eyes reinforcements, but speculation swirls about departures too. Let’s break down the rumors:
Cancelo: Heading Back to Barcelona…or Not?
Joao Cancelo, a City full-back, spent last season on loan at Barcelona. A return seemed plausible, but a new twist emerged. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has a different target in mind: Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, 23, known for his attacking style. This could spell the end of Barca’s interest in Cancelo, as they prioritize a different kind of full-back.
Perrone: Another Loan to Las Palmas?
Maxi Perrone, a young midfielder signed by City last year, might be on his way back to Spain. Las Palmas, his loan club last season, is reportedly in talks for another loan deal, with no option to buy. Perrone gained valuable experience in La Liga last season with 29 appearances.
Guardiola’s Transfer Tinkering Continues
While these rumors suggest outgoings, City’s transfer plans remain under wraps. Pep Guardiola is known for his tactical tinkering, and who stays and who goes will depend on the pieces he aims to add to the puzzle. The summer window promises to be a period of both departures and targeted acquisitions for Manchester City.
