Poaching Paris Saint-Germain? It is revealed that Ashraf is expected to join Manchester City! The overall situation of Donnarumma s transfer is determined

After the start of the new season, Manchester City showed a good competitive state. After his experience of "not willing to look back" last season, Manchester City has returned to the right track. However, at present, Manchester City management and Guardiola are not completely satisfied with their current lineup configuration. They will continue to complete several large transfers before the transfer window is closed.

The two strong players were expelled

Since the end of last season, Guardiola has clearly required the team's management to "walking on two legs": while introducing new players, we should also focus on "slimming" the lineup and clearing up some unplanned redundant staff. Although Gralish, Young Cooto, Walker, McCarthy and others left the team one after another, Manchester City's first-team personnel are still "excessive". According to transfer expert Santi Aouna, Ghana Tasaray has officially given a offer to Manchester City and hopes to sign Akanji. Last season, as an important rotation player on the team's defense line, Akanji got many opportunities, making 41 appearances in various competitions, including 32 starters. However, judging from actual performance, Akanji's competitive state has shown a relatively obvious decline. Manchester City will sell the 30-year-old defender for no less than €18 million.

Apart from Akanji, Rico Lewis has been controversial because of his performance. This defender from Manchester City's youth training system has always been favored by Guardiola and has gained a lot of playing time in the past two seasons. However, the shortcomings in physical confrontation ability and defensive position always prevent him from breaking through the bottleneck. According to transfer expert Paul Oliveira, at least four Premier League teams, including Tottenham and Villa, are very interested in signing Rico Lewis, and Manchester City has also received some substantial offers. In the German transfer market, Rico Lewis is worth 40 million euros. With three years left to expire on the player's contract, Manchester City hopes to receive a transfer fee of no less than 50 million euros.

Guardiola Guardiola selected Ashraf

When Rico Lewis was abandoned, Manchester City only had the guest Nunes left in the right back position. The latter performed well last season, but there were not many highlights. Given the key role of full-backs in Guardiola's tactical system, Manchester City hopes to sign a top-level right-back. According to Sky Sports, Manchester City has a clear signing target, and Guardiola has appointed Paris Saint-Germain's main player Ashraf.

26-year-old Ashraf is at the peak of his career. Last season, Ashraf made 55 appearances in various competitions, scored 11 goals and contributed 14 assists, making him the number one star in the right-back position in European football. In the German Transfer Market, his value continued to rise, reaching 80 million euros. After completing the contract renewal at the beginning of the year, Ashraf's contract has four years left to expire. It is reported that since Paris Saint-Germain has no intention of taking the initiative to sell Ashraf, Manchester City hopes to convince the players themselves first and then try to promote the transfer. However, in the eyes of the outside world, it is extremely difficult for Manchester City to complete this contract at this transfer window.

Donarumma agreed to join

Compared to Ashraf, his teammate Donarumma joins Manchester City, it seems that the overall situation is settled. After officially announcing his departure, Donnarumma regards Manchester City as the first next home in the transfer. Although Manchester City had signed Trafford before, they were very willing to sign Donnarumma when Ederson was likely to leave the team. According to transfer experts Pedula and Romano, Manchester City has officially launched transfer negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain, and the two sides are expected to reach an agreement on a price of about 30 million euros, which is far lower than the initial asking price of 50 million euros in Paris. At the same time, after the personal terms were negotiated, Donnarumma himself has officially agreed to join Manchester City. Without any big surprise, this "top star" with a peak value of 65 million euros will officially wear Manchester City's sky blue jersey this season.
