Six HUGE transfers to be completed this weekend: Benzema to Arsenal, Man Utd double deal & ANOTHER Liverpool buy
Manchester City could make some huge changes to their squad late on this summer with news that two forwards may be on their way out imminently, while vast amounts of money could go on their replacements.
It has been a quiet transfer window so far at the Etihad Stadium, but with news of Manuel Pellegrini signing a new contract, it now looks like the Chilean’s full focus can go on bringing in more players.
The changes expected are as follows:
Out – Sergio Aguero
Strongly linked with a big move to Real Madrid as they prepare to replace the Arsenal-bound Karim Benzema, Sergio Aguero could leave City in a shock move late on this summer, leaving them with a heck of a job to replace him in attack.
In – Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli)
In a £45m move, City have recently been linked as the favourites to sign Napoli front-man Gonzalo Higuain, who has also been a target for the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool this summer. The Argentine sharp-shooter would perhaps be the ideal replacement for his fellow countryman Aguero up top.
Out – Edin Dzeko
Linked with Arsenal at points this summer, it now looks like Edin Dzeko is on the verge of completing a move to AS Roma and will represent another transfer that leaves Pellegrini’s side a little short at that end of the pitch.
In – Kevin De Bruyne (Wolfsburg)
Not a striker, but City want to wrap up a deal for £45m Wolfsburg attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne in the final weeks of the transfer window, with the creative Belgian international likely to be the perfect foil for players like Higuain and Raheem Sterling up front.
