“Sign him in January or leave my precious Club- Manchester City owner has instructed Pep Guardiola to Sign 22-year-old attacker who finished above Jude Bellingham at Ballon d’Or or Risk Losing his Job
Report: Man City is now looking for a “special” 22-year-old midfielder who won the Ballon d’Or award ahead of Jude Bellingham. Manchester City is said to have been at the game to watch Khvicha Kvaratskhelia play while Georgia lost 3-1 to Spain.
According to 90 Minutes, City was one of the teams looking at Napoli’s star player, who scored against Luis de la Fuente’s team in a Euro 2024 trial.
There are rumours that Pep Guardiola and his team want to improve their wide players. On Thursday, it was said that they want to sign Leroy Sane in the summer.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was allegedly watched by Manchester City on Sunday.
The 22-year-old is without a doubt one of the best wingers in Europe. Jamie Carragher called him “special” (via CBS Sports Golazo).
The Georgian star led Napoli to the long-awaited Serie A title last season. This earned him 17th place in the official Ballon d’Or rankings, ahead of players like Jude Bellingham (18th), Harry Kane (19th), and Antoine Griezmann (21st).
The news now comes out that Manchester City officials were there to watch Khvicha Kvaratskhelia play against Spain on Sunday.
On the other hand, officials from Premier League teams like Newcastle United, Chelsea, and Manchester United were also there to watch the kid.
As things stand, Kvaratskhelia’s contract ends in 2027, but a story says that he is in talks with Napoli to extend it by another year.
Even though Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is great, do the triple winners need him?
It’s not clear what role Khvicha Kvaratskhelia plays in this team, unless Manchester City wants to turn Jeremy Doku into a right midfielder.
The talented wide player could start over Doku on the left wing, which is where he likes to play, but that makes me wonder how many minutes Grealish will play next season.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would be a great addition to the Etihad Stadium, but it’s not clear that the club should make his arrival their top goal.
