Manchester City is fully chasing Cucurella
Although Manchester City introduced two world-class stars, Haaland and Calvin Phillips this summer, which has greatly strengthened the team’s lineup, there is still a visible shortcoming in Guardiola’s tactical system. That is, there is no real left-back in the left-back position. Especially after the Ukrainian emperor Zinchenko left the team, this shortcoming was infinitely magnified.
In order to reinforce this shortcoming, recently, Manchester City is fully chasing the super wing Cucurella of the Premier League Brighton team. However, the Brighton club asked for 50 million pounds, which greatly exceeded Manchester City’s psychological expectations. Manchester City only want to pay up to 40 million pounds. If Brighton refuses to cut the price, the deal is likely to be yellow.
Considering that the transfer deal is likely to be yellow, Manchester City have found a replacement for Cucurella in the transfer market. He is the left winger Guerrero currently playing for Dortmund in the Bundesliga. According to the latest news from the well-known media “The Athletic”, Manchester City are weighing the possibility of introducing Guerrero.
Guerrero, Portugal international, born in December 1993, 28 years old this year, is in the year of professional players. Although Guerrero is not tall and sturdy, he has outstanding talent, superb skills at the feet, and has speed, can dribble, has strong defensive anticipation ability, and has a keen sense of smell. .
In addition to solid defense, Guerrero also has a very terrifying frontcourt attacking attributes. Statistics show that in the past 7 seasons, he played 188 games for Dortmund, contributing 34 goals and 29 assists to the team. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius “defender with a knife” in the Bundesliga. If Manchester City can sign Guerrero this summer, they can completely make up for the regret of not being able to buy Cucurella.
Moreover, what makes Manchester City happy is that Guerrero’s transfer fee is very cost-effective. According to information on the German transfer market, Guerrero’s worth is only about 25 million euros. Even if Dortmund raises the price a little, it will not exceed 30 million euros at most. Compared with the £50 million Cucurella, the price/performance ratio is simply too high.
However, if Manchester City wants to sign Guerrero, it must act as soon as possible, because in addition to them, there are two major European teams, Juventus and Arsenal, who are thinking about the Portuguese genius flying wing. If Manchester City are too indecisive, they could be preempted by other teams. Hope Manchester City can make a decision soon
