Man City Transfer: Real Madrid Aurelien Tchouameni agrees to sign for Man City Ahead Of Liverpool

Man City has now made money available for Pep Guardiola to make a bold move and sign a Real Madrid player before Liverpool.

 

The Premier League winners are interested in strengthening the squad in the next transfer windows.

 

Manchester City is usually quiet in January, but their terrible performance in recent months has compelled them to take action during the winter transfer window, and they are about to finalize a number of moves.

 

Even though Manchester City appears to be close to making three deals, they have not yet resolved their midfield problems, where Rodri has been much missed since sustaining a season-ending knee injury against Arsenal.

 

The Ballon d’Or winner will be replaced by Real Madrid player Aurelien Tchouameni.

 

However, Liverpool will compete for his services, reports Football Fan Cast.

 

Man City allegedly “have made funds available for Guardiola” to try to sign the French international, in an attempt to beat them to his signature.

 

Despite his versatility, which has seen him moved into Carlo Ancelotti’s backline due to injuries this season, Tchouameni has made over 100 appearances for Los Blancos but he is not a sure starter in midfield.

 

On Monday, Palmeiras president Leila Pereira revealed that negotiations are ongoing with Manchester City after they tabled an official bid for Vitor Reis.

 

Leila Pereira also stated the bid didn’t meet the fee requested by the Brazilian club, who aren’t in a rush to sell the 19-year-old.

 

ESPN in Brazil say Palmeiras want to retain the player until the summer’s FIFA Club World Cup, while Pep Guardiola wants him in the winter market.

 

This could have one of the factors to convince Reis to leave his club in the winter market. The report states Manchester City have raised their proposal to €35m and have made advances in their negotiations with Palmeiras.

 

UOL also state there’s been a new development in the operation to take the defender to Manchester City in the ‘last few hours’.

 

It’s claimed Palmeiras have accepted the offer made by the Premier League winners for the centre-back. Manchester City’s bid is between €30m and 35m, and Reis should move to the Etihad ‘right now in January’.

 

Both ESPN and UOL state the South American club haven’t confirmed accepting the offer made by the Citizens.
