Having sent Riyad Mahrez to Saudi Arabia, Manchester City are on the market for a new right-winger, although not one who will want as much game time as the Algeria international did.
That spot is reserved for Bernardo Silva, whom Pep Guardiola seems very reluctant to let go, and that’s why a player like Bradley Barcola is wanted.
The young Frenchman has been linked with Manchester City in the past, and now we see it again on Monday as RMC Sport bring it back to the fore.
A latest offer of €30m + bonuses was rejected, which shows how reluctant the French club are to part with him, and it’s added that Manchester City and ‘another English club’ are also interested by Barcola.
However, it’s made clear that, as things stand, Paris Saint-Germain ‘are still ahead’ in the affair, meaning the Etihad contingent will have to move quickly if they want to get a transfer sorted for the 20-year-old.
As for the fee required, they claim that a price of €50m ‘was brought up’ during talks, although that’s something the Lyon directors are dismissing for the time being.
