Manchester City wide-man Oleksandr Zinchenko has reportedly been offered to Barcelona in a surprise potential transfer deal.
The versatile Ukraine international has often been a useful player for City, though he’s slightly fallen down the pecking order in recent times.

According to Mundo Deportivo, his City future may now be in doubt as it’s claimed he’s been offered as a possible signing for Barcelona.
City shouldn’t be under too much pressure to sell, with the report noting that Zinchenko has a contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2024, but the club might also do well to offload him and raise funds for signings in other areas of the pitch.
The 23-year-old could also be a more useful option for Barca than for City at the moment, with the Catalan giants in major need of a rebuild this summer.
Ronald Koeman has replaced Quique Setien as manager, and signings are surely needed to freshen up a squad that under-achieved a great deal last season.
Zinchenko might not be the kind of player Barcelona fans had in mind, but he has the versatility and experience to provide something useful to Koeman’s side.
I’d rather have Zinchenko at left back than Mendy!
I’d rather have me at left back than Mendy !!!
I’d prefer a traffic cone rather than either of them.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is a good player and i could like him to play in a dream team of our new coach Ronald Koeman
dont let him go get rid of mendy right away he is crap
The player offer to Barcelona by City is a good fit of manager Koeman

What we need is someone to replace our central defender
Good deal for both parties……guaranteed start at barca than city
