He shines in Germany, he is Argentine, Guardiola wants him for Manchester City

Manchester City and Pep Guardiola have set their sights on a midfielder who is being one of the revelations in the Bundesliga. He is a crucial element for Xabi Alonso's team and many hope that he will truly establish himself in the best possible way in European football, as he is giving important performances. Xabi Alonso wants to surprise in the Bundesliga and the Argentine player Exequiel Palacios is being one of the great realities in the German league. Palacios is having a complete performance in the German team.

According to reports from Team Talk, Palacios has become a key target for these Premier League clubs. Although his current club, Bayer Leverkusen, will not want to lose such an important player in the middle of the season, the interest of Premier League teams is undeniable. However, one of the strongest bids is Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, who wants to continue having the best midfielders in the world and with the greatest projection. Exequiel Palacios is one of those profiles.

Palacios has been a fundamental part of the project led by coach Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen. In the Bundesliga, he has scored two goals and provided two assists in eight games, demonstrating his influence in midfield. Leverkusen have secured Palacios on a contract that runs until the summer of 2028, giving them some power to protect themselves from interest from other clubs. However, this has not deterred Premier League teams from seeking his signature.

Manchester City will have competition

As Team Talk reports, there are more teams following the player's trail. While Leverkusen remain firm in their desire to retain the Argentine midfielder, clubs such as Manchester City, Newcastle United and Aston Villa could make inquiries to convince Palacios to join them in January. Each of these teams has their own reasons for looking for a midfield reinforcement. On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen will not make it easy for the player to leave.
