Manchester City is making strides in the transfer market, securing a £33.5m deal for defender Khusanov and pursuing striker Marmoush.
They’re also in talks with Palmeiras about 18-year-old Vitor Reis, but the Brazilian club wants to keep him until after the Club World Cup this summer.
On top of that, City is eyeing Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush to strengthen their attack. He scored again recently, and it looks like they might need to shell out over £50 million to get him. Frankfurt is in a strong position, especially since they’re aiming for Champions League football next season. They’ve said it would take something extraordinary to let go of their star striker.
After a big 8-0 win over Salford City, Guardiola mentioned the need to improve the squad. He pointed out that injuries have been a real issue, with many players sidelined.
City’s deal for Khusanov includes a £33.5 million fee plus add-ons. They’ve had their eye on him for a while and decided to speed up the signing due to their injury woes. It’s been quite a journey for the Uzbekistan international, who joined Lens just 18 months ago for about £100,000 from Energetik-BGU in Belarus.
