Manchester City They are considering a late transfer after a serious injury to the winger Oscar Bob.
The reigning Premier League champions have completed just one move so far this summer, with Brazilian winger Savinho joining from Troyes.
Pep Guardiola is reportedly happy with the depth of options in his squad ahead of a demanding multi-competition campaign in 2024/25.
However, those plans have suffered a major setback: Bobb is expected to be sidelined until at least early 2025 after suffering a broken leg in training.
The sale of Julian Alaves to Atletico Madrid looked to be covered by Bobb, who has been promoted in Guardiola’s first-team plans over the summer, but another option may now be needed.
England international Kalvin Phillips is set to return to action after a loan spell at West Ham last season, with newly promoted Ipswich Town rumoured to be close to signing him on a season-long loan deal.
According to the latest from Sky sportsGuardiola will take stock of a possible move in the coming days, with an extra central midfielder and a striker in the target areas.
Erling Haaland is without a backup following Alvarez’s move to Madrid, and Guardiola is keen to reduce the playing load on midfield lynchpin Rodri in the coming months.
