Coming from Fabrizio this morning Manchester City has completed the signing of £20 Million Argentina wonderkid who has more goal than Lionel Messi last Season
Manchester City fans will have to wait just under 24 hours to see their global champions return.
The Blues will not have the homecoming they had hoped for, but a trip to Everton allows the travelling faithful to praise their heroes. However, City’s return to the Premier League is more than just a celebration of their Club World Cup success.
City will be looking to regain form in the Premier League after winning just two games since the beginning of November. On the eve of their match against the Toffees, news of a new signing will boost spirits even further.
Man City is set to sign a midfielder.
City are planning another raid on River Plate in the January transfer window.
Two years after signing Julian Alvarez for £14 million, the Blues are nearing a deal for midfielder Claudio Echeverri for a similar sum. In addition to captaining Argentina in the Under-17 World Cup last month, the 17-year-old has already made his professional debut for River, who are now second in the league.
If they reach an agreement in January, City will not bring Echeverri to the Etihad immediately; the most likely scenario is that he stays at River to develop, as Alvarez did, but another option could be found.
Guardiola responds to critics
Guardiola acknowledges he will be labelled a “zero” if City lose their Premier League title this season, but ahead of their return to domestic play, he confessed he enjoys the uncertainty around his team.
The City manager also delivered a sharp rebuke to those who are now writing City off, accusing them of being concerned with results and failing to understand the wider picture, despite having complimented identical levels of performance when his team was winning. The Blues were crowned world champions last week in Jeddah, but they missed a round of domestic action while in the Middle East, dropping them out of the top four ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Everton.
