Manchester City are in the process of signing and are said to have completed the signings of centre-backs Abdukodir Khusanov (Lens), Vitor Reis (Palmeiras) and Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt).
This winter, the sky blues will be shopping big. – Manager Pep Guardiola knows they won’t win the Premier League this year, but the top four must be secured and they are as always willing to pay.
Right after signing a hair-raising gigantic contract that everyone is talking about with Erling Braut Haaland, they are now bringing in one of last season’s great players, Douglas Luiz.
In the summer, Aston Villa sold Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luis to Juventus for €51.5 million. “It hasn’t been good for Aston Villa, who have been clearly weakened this season, for Douglas Luis, who hasn’t been trusted by Juventus’ new manager Thiago Motta and for the old lady, who probably won’t win Serie A this season or will get his money back in the event of a sale. They overpay or walk away from the idea of loans.
Manchester City reportedly only want to loan the player without a mandatory purchase option, while the Turin club wants a sale or a loan with a mandatory purchase option.
Manchester City have also been reported to be in the process of bidding for around €60 million Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso, but according to The Athletic, Manchester City’s interest in the Italian has waned.
Douglas Luiz joined Juventus from Aston Villa in the summer, but has failed to establish himself in the starting eleven. The 26-year-old has a past with Manchester City, who he belonged to from 2017 to 2019.
