REPORT: Man City are now ready to launch bid to sign £70m striker Alexis Mac Allister has called…..
Last week, there were rumors that City was considering a move for Kyogo Furuhashi, and that his eagerness to accept the transfer meant that personal terms would not be a barrier.
On Tuesday, it was also reported that Manchester City does not appear likely to sign both Furuhashi and Orri Oskarsson this summer.
The article added that even if the team hasn’t replaced Julian Alvarez, who left to join Atletico Madrid, Pep Guardiola and the City management are happy with the team.
However, elite teams consistently appear willing to make additions when the proper time arises, as seen by City’s choice to sign Manuel Akanji on the final day of the 2022 summer transfer window.
Therefore, it could be too soon to discount the Premier League winners’ wish to add a second number nine.
Man City and Evan Ferguson transfer claims are shared in the report.
But it appears that there aren’t as many elite strikers available these days.
For example, the Sky Blues had Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli on their roster in addition to Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez during the preceding ten years.
Later on, City managed to sign Stefan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo.
But according to a Football Transfers rumor, Manchester City is prepared to make an offer for Evan Ferguson, a player who could become a star in the future.
Along with the league leaders, Brentford sees the 19-year-old as Ivan Toney’s replacement, with Arsenal reportedly keeping an eye on him as well.
The young player, who signed a long-term contract with Brighton & Hove Albion until 2029, is valued at £70 million by the club.
But before negotiating the cost with Brighton when the season ends, Manchester City and Arsenal would both want to sign Ferguson on a season-long loan.
The highly-regarded goal scorer was praised as a “amazing player” by former Seagulls midfielder Alexis Mac Allister via BBC Sport last year.
Although adding Evan Ferguson would be incredible, there might be a cost concern.
Although Mac Allister’s assessment of Ferguson’s quality is impossible to dispute, and he has the potential to reach previously unheard-of heights when wearing a Manchester City shirt, the cost could be a deterrent.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Brighton back out of a possible deal if they demand a price less than £70 million for the Irishman.
