Manchester City continues shaping its long-term sports project after a disappointing season, always keeping an eye on the great promises of European soccer. Pep Guardiola has always remained alert to the evolution of the most important young talents on the continent. Therefore, the coach has asked the management to strengthen the team with players who can make a difference in the future.
On the other hand, the English club's strategy has been clear in recent years: to bet on footballers with the potential to become stars under Pep Guardiola's direction. With the Premier League becoming more competitive and the ambition to continue dominating Europe, Manchester City doesn't want to fall behind next transfer market. The management has already started working on new signings and has its eye on one of the biggest promises that has caught the attention of several big teams.
The "New Neymar" Who Charms Guardiola
One of the names that has burst onto Manchester City's agenda is Désiré Doué, the jewel of Paris Saint-Germain. The young striker has been one of the revelations of French soccer, and important clubs in the European elite are keeping an eye on him. It's no wonder: in just a few months, Doué has shown that he has the talent necessary to become a star, and some compare him to Neymar.
PSG invested 50M euros in his signing and has no intention of letting him go easily. However, from England, they are willing to make a significant effort to secure his services. There is talk of a 90M euro offer from City, a figure that could tempt the Parisian club sooner or later.
Complicated Signing, But Not Impossible
Manchester City knows that negotiating with PSG won't be easy, especially considering that the French club doesn't plan to part with its new gem. Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain has shown that they don't usually give in to the pressure of other European giants and do everything possible to retain key players in their project. In the case of Désiré Doué, the Parisian management trusts that he will become a team leader and has no plans to sell him in the short term.
However, Manchester City's interest is firm, and Guardiola is convinced that the striker would fit perfectly into his scheme. With his ability for one-on-one situations and his capacity to create danger in the final attacking lines, the young footballer could bring new dynamism to the English team. Although the operation seems complicated, in the transfer market, everything can change quickly, and City will continue to insist in the coming months.
