Guardiola wanted him as a replacement for De Bruyne, this is why he will not reach Manchester City

Manchester City has had a certainly unexpected transfer market. After the departure of their captain, Iikay Gundogan, the English team tried to sign a replacement, Mateo Kovacic being the chosen one. However, the club did not envision their other star midfielder, such as Kevin De Bruyne, who they would have to find a replacement for.

According to the BBC, Lucas Paqueta is the main objective of the citizens. However, now a new option appears that Pep Guardiola really likes. According to Sky, they have a strong interest in Dani Olmo. RB Leipzig want to keep the player who has a £50m release clause next summer. However, an offer of £70m+ could change the situation.

However, according to The Sun, RB Leipzig will demand £68m from Manchester City for midfield ace Dani Olmo. Olmo is among the list of alternatives drawn up by City with Paqueta move now looking unlikely.

What happened with Paqueta?

The player is being investigated for possible involvement in sports betting, something that is sanctioned by the Premier League. According to Sky Sports, Lucas Paqueta is totally shocked by what has happened. He's not a gambler and he's willing to cooperate in any way with any investigation. He was set to more than double his wages at Man City.
