BEST SIGNING EVER; Newcastle united has finally signed their dream player

Manchester City will seriously consider upping the ante in their pursuit of Atalanta star Ederson when the transfer window reopens in the summer if it becomes clear that it will be impossible to lure Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes to the Etihad Stadium, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.

Sky Blues boss Pep Guardiola strengthened his squad midway through the season, with Omar Marmoush being the reigning Premier League champions’ most expensive arrival ahead of the February 3 deadline thanks to completing a switch worth an initial £59million from Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt.

Hugo Viana is poised to lead Manchester City’s recruitment drive when he replaces director of football Txiki Begiristain at the end of the campaign, and plans have been put in place to secure a fresh face in the middle of the park later this year despite sealing the deadline day arrival of Nico Gonzalez.

Sky Blues Consider Attempt to Land Ederson

Manchester City could progress a move for Ederson if they are unable to land prime target Guimaraes in the summer, according to GMS sources, having been forced to look at alternative options after Martin Zubimendi has also edged closer to joining domestic counterparts Arsenal from Real Sociedad.

Atalanta were seeking in the region of £50million for their 25-year-old fan favourite when the Sky Blues were among the sides circling for his signature during the winter transfer window, which resulted in him remaining with the Serie A title-chasers, but he has stayed on Guardiola’s radar as a potential recruit further down the line.

GMS sources have been informed that the eleventh-hour addition of Gonzalez has not deterred Manchester City in their attempts to revamp their midfield ahead of next season, even though Rodri is due to return from injury in the coming months, and Ederson is being monitored after shining in the Champions League.
