Manchester City transfer news: Manchester City can sign Neymar, City still front-runners for Sanchez and more - 12th January, 2018
Neymar can snub Real Madrid for Manchester City
Neymar joined PSG in the summer for a world record transfer fee. There have been speculations that Real Madrid is interested in signing the Brazilian. But Neymar has set a few conditions for his move to the La Liga champions.
According to the Diario Gol, Neymar has requested Real Madrid to sell Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema before joining the club. Furthermore, Neymar wants the Champions League winners to sign a new goalkeeper. If his conditions are not met, the 25-year-old is ready to join Manchester City and Manchester United in the Premier League.
Manchester City still favourites to sign Alexis Sanchez
Alexis Sanchez has been constantly linked to a move to Manchester City for a long time now. The Chilean winger only has 6 months remaining in his contract so Arsenal is ready to cash in on their prized asset.
Many reports yesterday stated that Manchester United is trying to hijack the deal by bidding for the winger. According to the ESPN, Etihad is still the preferred destination for the Arsenal winger. The two clubs have not reached the agreement yet but the City board is confident about getting this deal over the line.
Manchester City interested in Seri
Jean Michael Seri is one of the most highly rated midfielders in the Ligue 1. The Ivory Coast midfielder has performed brilliantly for Nice in the last 18 months. His performances have attracted interest from top clubs around the world.
The 26-year-old was very close to joining Barcelona in the summer before the deal collapsed which reportedly left him 'heartbroken'. According to Le Parisien, Manchester City are keeping tabs on the progress of the midfielder. The Premier League leaders are looking for a replacement for Yaya Toure and Nice midfielder perfectly fits the bill.
Lorenzo Pellegrini can leave Roma
Lorenzo Pellegrini has been brilliant for Roma this season. The 21-year-old has made 20 appearances for the Serie A club this season. While he has only managed to score 2 goals this season, his link-up play has won him many plaudits.
He has caught the attention of many Premier League clubs like Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United. According to reports, the Italian has a release clause of just 21 million pounds in his contract. This release clause is very appealing for a player of his quality.
