Manchester City is still thinking about adding a great striker for next summer. After the ‘no’ arrival of Kane this season and the expense made to sign Grealish, the latest market movements of Guardiola’s team are seen as part of a clear strategy to try the arrival of Haaland in summer.
One of those movements is the sale of Ferran Torres to Barcelona, which It will be confirmed in the next few days. This operation will report 55 million euros to the citizens’ coffers, plus another 10 possible in variables. But it is not the only transfer they work on.
Yesterday also reported the intention of Sporting de Portugal to acquire the services of Pedro Porro, although he will pay it in installments, so the City would only enter this season 3 million for the Spanish. Another 6 million would come with the purchase by Schalke of the Japanese international Ko Itakura. And finally around 11 Bournemouth would pay for Morgan Rogers, although this last signing would depend on the promotion of the team to the Premier.
In this way, City would have accumulated 75 or 80 million euros in transfers this season that would allow them to tackle the signing of the Norwegian forward, which half of Europe will fight for as soon as the market bell rings next July.
