When he was 23 years old, he signed for FC Barcelona to strenghten the defense. But he never lived up to the expectations and left the team two years later. Now he is 27, is a more mature player and Pep Guardiola, who followed his growth, wants him for Manchester City.

He was good in Lille, Paris Saint-Germain and AS Roma, but when he left FC Barcelona for Everton, he found his true self. He became more useful for the team and the dressing room appointed him as one of the leaders. Everything went even better when Carlo Ancelotti was appointed. The Italian coach made him play the best soccer of his life.

That is why Pep Guardiola is interested in Lucas Digne. Benjamin Mendy's performances have not been good enough for Manchester City and the Catalan was a replacement as soon as possible. It is thought that the Citizens would have to pay around 30 million euro to have Digne wearing the sky blue shirt.

In the Liverpool's club, Digne has never been even close to winning a title, but he quickly became one of the fans' favourites, alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin and of course, the former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich star James Rodriguez. If he leaves to Manchester, he will have a great chance.
