Man City Transfer News
Manchester City is looking to rebuild their squad and is reportedly interested in signing a talented young winger who has already set a record.
After a season below their usual standards under Pep Guardiola, the Citizens are expected to be active in the summer transfer window. They already made some additions in January with the arrival of Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Juma Bah, which could be just the beginning of their rebuild.
Despite these new players, City has continued to struggle with form and injuries. Nathan Ake recently revealed he played with a fractured foot, highlighting the team’s injury issues this season.
These problems suggest a significant overhaul in the summer, potentially including the signing of a promising talent. According to reports, Manchester City is considering a move for Roger Fernandes, who holds the record for SC Braga’s youngest goalscorer, having scored at the age of 15.
Now 19, Fernandes’ development has continued, and it is reported that a bid of €40m (£34m) would be needed to sign him from Portugal this summer, with Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool all interested.
‘Fantastic’ Fernandes is One to Watch
Fernandes is attracting interest from major Premier League clubs, giving him a big decision to make about his future this summer. For Manchester City, signing this young player would be a positive step in their rebuild, especially as attacking positions are more open than ever in Guardiola’s team.
Jeremie Doku and Jack Grealish have not consistently performed this season, failing to adequately support Erling Haaland in attack, and representing a potential area for improvement compared to other attacking options.
Meanwhile, Fernandes has been performing well in Portugal for the past two seasons, earning praise from football talent scout Jacek Kulig. Kulig described the young winger as ‘simply fantastic’ last season, as he consistently made headlines.
With five goals and five assists, the 19-year-old Fernandes is definitely a player to watch as he aims to break more records, whether in the Premier League or Portugal.
