Since announcing his partnership with Pere Guardiola’s company Media Base Sports, William Carvalho hasn’t stopped being linked to Manchester City.
Frequently speculated at English clubs, the player suddenly became a big target for the Sky Blues, even though we were always a bit skeptical about those reports coming out of nothing.
According to the newspaper, both clubs have been following the player for a long time, and in City’s case, Pep Guardiola’s brother could help with the transfer.
Carvalho has a €45m release clause, and Sporting would only hear offers starting at around €30m, although €35m is what they really want.
It’s recalled by A Bola that last summer, West Brom got close to bringing the midfielder to the Hawthorns, but the Baggies’ €30m offer was short as the Lions were demanding the same €35m.
It’s just funny to read that Manchester City have been following the player for a long time now. If so, why was their interest only reported after Pere Guardiola’s deal? We’re still not buying that.
