Manchester is already preparing for the 2022/2023 season. After a dramatic Premier League final Those of Guardiola already focus on the City that comes. That is why he has scoured the market in search of central defenders to tighten the screws on Laporte and Ruben Días in the starting lineup. These 3 defenses have youth in common, and the desire to win titles:
– Pau Torres: the Villarreal player, in addition to being in the orbit of Manchester United, is also in that of Guardiola’s pupils. The 25-year-old center-back has a market value of 50 million and a contract in force until 2024, so Manchester City will have to pay a significant amount of money to get the man from Castellón. In England he could form a center-back pair with his teammate Aymeric Laporte.
– Alessandro Bastoni: the Italian from Inter Milan is the one who could bring the most complications to the Laporte-Días couple. The transalpine is a key piece of Inter Milan, runner-up in Serie A. The youth that he treasures (23 years old) also plays in his favor. Of course, he is the most expensive of the 3 (60 million) and his contract with the Interista entity does not end for another 2 years.
