Even with significant debts, Manchester City is willing to spend 48 million euros on this transfer.
Manchester City are reportedly preparing a £40 million bid for Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson as Pep Guardiola
Despite facing one of their worst runs of form in recent memory, Manchester City are reportedly considering a significant investment in the January transfer window. According to GiveMeSport, the Premier League champions are keen to strengthen their left-back position and have identified Fulham's Antonee Robinson as their primary target.
Pep Guardiola is keen to solidify his defensive options, particularly with the desire to move Josko Gvardiol into a central defensive role. Robinson, a 27-year-old American, has been a standout performer for Fulham since joining the club in 2020. His impressive displays in the Premier League have attracted the attention of several top European clubs.

The Manchester Evening News reports that City are prepared to offer £40 million to secure Robinson's services. However, Fulham are under no immediate pressure to sell and are likely to demand a higher fee for their prized asset. The Cottagers have Robinson under contract until 2028, and he has been a crucial part of their success in recent seasons.
City's interest in Robinson is understandable given his attacking prowess and defensive solidity. The American full-back possesses the technical ability and athleticism to thrive in Guardiola's possession-based system. His ability to provide both width and width is a valuable asset that would complement City's attacking style of play.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester City will be successful in their pursuit of Robinson. With the January transfer window fast approaching, it is expected that the club will intensify their efforts to secure the signing of the Fulham defender.
