Man City have made an incredible offer to sign Barcelona midfielder Pedri ahead of the summer transfer window, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Citizens have had a poor season by their standards with Pep Guardiola\u2019s side currently\u00a0fourth in the Premier League<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League next season.<\/p>\n Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa are all breathing down their necks with Man City<\/strong><\/a> now facing a tricky home clash against the Villans on Tuesday<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Man City wasted no time in improving their squad in the January transfer window, after a terrible start to the season, with Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez,\u00a0Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and\u00a0Juma Bah all joining Guardiola\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n And the Citizens are set for another recruitment drive in the summer transfer window to plug all the gaps in the squad as they look to get back on top of the league next season.<\/p>\n Kevin de Bruyne announced his departure in an emotional farewell message on social media earlier this month and he will be one of the main players they will look to replace in the summer.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Man City keep or sell: Grealish, Ederson, Gundogan all leave as Guardiola keeps Stones, Silva<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Although probably not a direct replacement for De Bruyne, Barcelona\u2019s Pedri would add more quality to Guardiola\u2019s midfield ahead of next campaign.<\/p>\n And Spanish website Fichajes have claimed that<\/a> there is now a \u20ac200m (\u00a3171m) bid \u2018on the table\u2019 from Man City as Barcelona weigh up the \u2018offer\u2019.<\/p>\n It is claimed Man City have \u2018given up\u2019 on their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz and have decided to \u2018change course\u2019 to pursue Pedri.<\/p>\n MORE MAN CITY COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> The Citizens are \u2018determined to break the market\u2019 and the report adds:<\/p>\n \u2018Pep Guardiola\u2019s squad sees the Spanish international as a unique opportunity to elevate the level of their midfield. The Catalan manager\u2019s admiration for the positional play and technical talent of players like Pedri is no secret, and he believes the Canary Islander would be an ideal fit for his team.<\/p>\n \u2018With Wirtz impossible to sign, City is banking on a profile that combines youth, quality, and top-level experience.<\/p>\n \u2018At 21, Pedri has become an irreplaceable asset for Barca. His understanding of the game, his timing, and his maturity have been key to sustaining the team in critical moments. The Barca board considers him an untouchable figure, both for what he represents in the present and for what he symbolizes in the club\u2019s future.<\/p>\n \u2018Although the Etihad is willing to make one of the most ambitious offers in recent years, the deal appears complicated. Furthermore, the player\u2019s entourage has not expressed any intention of leaving Barcelona.<\/p>\n \u2018However, Manchester City\u2019s interest confirms that Pedri has become one of the most coveted players in Europe, and his name will be back on everyone\u2019s lips when the transfer window opens.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man City have made an incredible offer to sign Barcelona midfielder Pedri ahead of the summer transfer window,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38347,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5312],"tags":[199,2000,299,225,886,12,21897,101,10031,104],"class_list":{"0":"post-38346","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-home-page","12":"tag-manchester-city","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-pedri","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-soccer","17":"tag-spain"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114376048261882206","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38346","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=38346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
