Man City are willing to spend more than €80 million to land Barca star this summer. But, it will still prove them hard to agree a deal with the Spanish giants.
Manchester City are planning for a big summer transfer window. They are having a tough season right now and hence key changes are expected. As of now, there are many players linked with exit in order to make space for new players.
As far as attacking is considered, both Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva find their future uncertain at the club. Kevin De Bruyne is also said to depart whereas Savinho has failed to impress. This will need Guardiola to bring in a versatile attacker.
Man City planning summer raid on Barcelona
According to El Nacional Cat via Tribuna, City have identified Raphinha as their top target for summer. They are willing to spend more than €80 million to secure the signature of the Brazilian. However, it will not be easy to carry this deal.
Barcelona have no intention to sell Raphinha anytime soon. Both Deco and Laporta have made this intention clear. In addition, the player is also enjoying his time at Spain especially since the arrival of Hansi Flick as head coach.
Raphinha has formed a solid partnership with other attackers at Barca. He has played a crucial role for Flick this season. The Brazilian has scored 27 goals and picked 18 assists in 42 games. He has helped Barca to sit on top of La Liga and reach quarter finals in UCL.
Hence, it is very unlikely that Man City will be successful in raiding Guardiola’s former club. Man City will have to focus their attention elsewhere in order to land a versatile attacker. It will be interesting to see what Pep Guardiola plans in the coming months.
