Man City in talks with Bundesliga ace
City are keen to sign a young midfielder who can form a solid partnership with Rodri. They want the player to be versatile in order to play multiple roles. The Sky Blues have one particular player on their radar who fits all of the hiring criteria.
The star in question here is Hugo Larsson of Eintracht Frankfurt. He is only 20 years old but has been regular starter for both club and country. Larsson represents Sweden on international level and has so far played 8 games for them.
Larsson can play anywhere in the midfield although his best position is central. He has played 38 games this season and has registered 6 goals with 1 assist. According to Sky Sports Germany, City are showing strong interest in Larsson.
City signed Omar Marmoush from Frankfurt in January and have good relation with the German club. They can be seen once again in the deal with Frankfurt demanding £50 million for the 22 year old midfielder.
Larsson can be great addition to the City squad where he can replace Gundogan or Kovacic. In addition, he can serve as a backup for Rodri which will increase the squad depth. It will be interesting to see if the Sky Blues speed-up their interest and make an official offer in the coming weeks. Some other Premier League clubs are also keeping close tabs on Larsson.
