Depends on what his relationship with Mikel looks like. Laporte lost his spot in the starting XI.
It’s all about presenting him the right project. Platform is there for him.
Plus, I have a feeling City would be more willing to sell to Arsenal rather than Chelsea or Man Utd who may be interested, for obvious reasons.
Utd want a younger profile for CB.
Chelsea maybe? I’m not entirely sure what their plans are for the summer apart from striker. Apparently they’re in for a GK and a RWB/RM.
I wonder if Varane is also the right profile for them. Azpi, Thiago Silva and Rudiger aren’t exactly young. There are quite a lot of promising CBs available too.
Interesting thread. Be on the lookout for some of the names in there. Mikel seems to be keeping up with La Liga so it’s very likely the Xhaka/Ceballos replacement is in here.
Prepare for us to raid Sociedad. That third blue kit looks fitting now.
Isak, Merino, Odegaard(2019-2020), hell we may even get Monreal back to cover Tierney.
Not sure tbh, every long ball he pings, he has about 10m of space around him. Merino, in comparison, looks way more nimble footed under pressure and looks to have an eye for the right pass.
Think I’m done with these long ball merchants and want a team padded with close-knit technical wizards instead.
