After signing the new Messi, the 100 million striker that Guardiola asks for

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City would have already agreed everything with an important Argentine talent whom everyone calls “the new Messi.” This is Claudio Echeverri, an important player who is significantly positioned as one of the most promising footballers in the world and there would already be an agreement with River Plate, who owns his transfer. However, it is revealed that Guardiola would be following in the footsteps of another forward.

At 19 years old, Evan Ferguson has left a significant mark in his short professional career, starting at Bohemians before landing at Brighton at the beginning of 2021. His debut in the Seagulls first team marked the beginning of an impressive journey. With 50 appearances in all competitions, the young talent has amassed 16 goals and four assists, highlighting his Premier League prowess with 12 goals and two assists in 36 games.

Despite financial difficulties, Brighton are rumored to be seeking a British record transfer fee for Ferguson, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this exciting saga. According to Talk, it could be more than 100 million euros. While Ferguson remains on Manchester United's radar, the Premier League awaits the outcome of this intense battle for emerging talent. Among them, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.

Although Brighton recently secured their long-term commitment to Ferguson until June 2029, speculation over his future persists. Seagulls chief executive Paul Barber has hinted at the possibility of a next move, and competition between interested clubs could complicate retaining the player. According to reports from journalist Ekrem Konur, Manchester United is leading a four-way battle along with Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal for the signing of Ferguson.
