- ICYMI: Manchester City are reportedly keen on signing 24-year-old Uruguayan winger Maximilian Araujo from Sporting CP.
City are reportedly eyeing a move for 24-year-old Uruguayan winger Maximilian Araujo, currently playing for Sporting CP.
According to Football Insider, the Premier League champions are looking to strengthen their squad by bringing in the versatile Araujo, who can play both as a wing-back and left-back.
Araujo, who has been solid for Sporting CP this season, could fill a much-needed role for City. With Pep Guardiola’s squad lacking a specialist left-back, Araujo’s ability to operate in multiple positions could provide valuable depth.
City’s need for more width is also apparent, with Jack Grealish’s performances falling short of expectations. Araujo’s technical and physical qualities are well-suited to the Premier League, and it could be the ideal move to elevate his game.
Sporting CP paid around £13.6 million for Araujo, and they will be hoping to make a solid profit if City decides to pursue the deal. With City’s financial power, they can certainly afford to make a move, but the negotiations are still ongoing.
Will City manage to bring Araujo to the Etihad? Will he seize the opportunity to join one of the world’s top clubs? Only time will tell, but this deal could be a game-changer for City’s defense and attacking options. Keep an eye on this one, Cityzens!
