Manchester City has been in a complete nightmare during this summer in terms of player departures and injuries. Despite the fact that Pep Guardiola's team managed to come out as champions of the last edition of the UEFA Champions League, some players like Iikay Gundodan decided to face a new challenge, while others like De Bruyne who have time decided to stay.

 

After the German's departure, Manchester City appointed Kevin De Bruyne as the team's new official captain. However, the player was injured in the first Premier League game in an action that did not seem serious. However, Pep Guardiola himself shared that an operation is almost certain and he will keep the Belgian out for almost 4 months.

Despite recent reports that bring Lucas Paqueta closer to the citizen team, Pep Guardiola is already analyzing an option according to the Italian journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio. According to European media, the 'Citizens' have gotten to work on the arrival of Leipzig's attacking midfielder, Dani Olmo. However, the Bulls will not let the Spaniard go so easily.

 

How much would they ask for Dani Olmo in Germany?

According to BeSoccer, the German team is asking for between 80 and 100 million euros to start negotiating for the Spanish international, on whom they want to set up the new project after the departure of important men. What is a fact is that Manchester City urgently needs the arrival of a midfielder and Dani Olmo could fit into this role, although he also plays as a winger or attacker.
