Looking for a young talent to mould, Manchester City would reportedly have set their sights on a Chelsea prodigy, with a £105m (€120m) offer reportedly in preparation.
Thanks to three consecutive victories, Manchester City have come back to within two points of Arsenal. The title race is more than ever relaunched in the Premier League. The Citizens have entered a new cycle with players who recently arrived (Rayan Cherki, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Tijjani Reijnders) and who will embody the English giants' future. Manchester City remain always ready to pull out the chequebook to offer Pep Guardiola the best possible squad.
And according to information from outlet Fichajes, Manchester City would reportedly have found the new player to recruit as a priority: Estevao Willian. The 18-year-old striker arrived at Chelsea this summer and his start has been thunderous with five goals and one assist. He has already established himself in Enzo Maresca's system and his talent has clearly not gone unnoticed, as the Sky Blues would reportedly be considering making a €120m (£102.5m) offer.
Estevao, Manchester City's future blockbuster transfer?
The Spanish outlet indicate that Estevao's performances would reportedly have already convinced Manchester City to break their piggy bank. The Mancunian giants' interest is not at all surprising, the Brazilian winger is one of the most promising players in the world. Nevertheless, the Sky Blues already have a player who performs on the right side, a certain Phil Foden, who could moreover soon extend his contract.
Despite Estevao's obvious talent and the bright future ahead for him, Manchester City cannot offer superior guarantees compared to Chelsea. The former Palmeiras player is well surrounded in London and plays within a competitive team and above all with an ambitious project. At the Blues, he has the opportunity to become the club's key player, unlike Manchester City, where he will simply have rotation player status.
