Manchester City could soon sell a player in their ranks who has been likened to Achraf Hakimi, amid interest from several suitors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Citizens have had a busy summer on the transfer front, with several big incomings already wrapped up.<\/p>\n

Now, Manchester City<\/a> are looking at moving players on. Savinho is being heavily pursued by Tottenham<\/a>, while Galatasaray want Ederson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another City player is now expected to leave and, according to a report, there are several clubs happy to sign him on loan with options or obligations to buy.<\/p>\n

The player in question is Issa Kabore, who Pep Guardiola is looking to sell this summer as he looks to trim down his squad.<\/p>\n

The likes of Rennes, Valencia, Galatasaray and Leicester are all eyeing Kabore<\/a>, with Southampton also in the picture for Kabore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, Simon Bajkowski has reported that Ipswich Town, Hamburg and Paris FC have also enquired about the 49-cap Burkina Faso international.<\/p>\n

Most of the offers have been loans, with either options or obligations to buy inserted into the deal, he wrote in the Manchester Evening News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The expectation is that Kabore \u2013 who has never played a competitive game for Man City \u2013 will leave the Etihad Stadium this summer.<\/p>\n

The comparisons between Issa Kabore and Achraf Hakimi<\/p>\n

Kabore has been on Man City\u2019s books since 2020, but he has been loaned out every season.<\/p>\n

He has turned out for Mechelen, Troyes, Marseille, Luton Town, Benfica and Werder Bremen.<\/p>\n

The Bundesliga\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0likened Kabore to Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco star Achraf Hakimi when he made his loan move to Bremen earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u2018Like Hakimi, Kabore is an attacking full-back who loves getting forward and whipping in crosses,\u2019 they wrote.<\/p>\n

\u2018His speed and physicality also make him difficult to deal with going forward and tough to beat defensively.\u2019<\/p>\n

Sadly, at 24 years of age and without a single Man City outing to his name, it\u2019s clear that he\u2019s not going to get a look-in this season either.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, the Citizens should look to move him on permanently, ideally with an obligation to buy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City could soon sell a player in their ranks who has been likened to Achraf Hakimi, amid…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,131962,2465,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-378430","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-issa-kabore","12":"tag-manchester","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115102447334723850","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
