Man City are showing strong interest in one Barcelona star ahead of summer transfer window. They are willing to spend as high as €100 million to sign the player but it will still be hard to convince the Spanish giants.
Pep Guardiola is planning a summer overhaul due to the tough current season. He is willing to part ways with many of his current stars which suggests many new signings can be expected. One of the areas the Sky Blues are keen to improve is midfield.
Kevin De Bruyne will be out of contract at the end of this season. He is expected to join MLS side San Deigo on a free transfer. De Bruyne will need a proper replacement as soon as possible. Many of the top talents across whole Europe are already linked with a move to Etihad.
Man City keen to sign Pedri this summer
According to Marca, Man City have strong interest in Pedri. They are willing to spend €100 million in order to lure him away from Barca. They view the Spaniard as a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. However, it will not be easy for City to land Pedri.
Barca rate Pedri very highly and have no intention to sell him anytime soon. The Spaniard is only 22 years old and is already a regular starter for both club and country. He is playing a major role for Hansi Flick this season.
Pedri has played 44 games this season and has registered 5 goals along with 7 assists. He has played in all positions of midfield – attacking, holding and central. This versatality makes him a key asset for Barca who are likely to reject any offer this summer.
City do have many other options in market. But, Pedri could be a great addition to their squad. He can also form a solid partnership with his compatriot Rodri in midfield. Playing under Pep Guardiola will also help him in individual development.
