left-back Raphael Guerreiro has emerged as a surprise target for Manchester City ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to the football transfer rumours in French Media (Foot Mercato), Manchester City are interested in Borussia Dortmund left-back Raphael Guerreiro.
The Portugal international was signed by Borussia Dortmund in July 2016 from Lorient for a fee of 12 million euros. The 23-year-old has a valid contract with Borussia Dortmund until June 2020.
Guerreiro has scored seven goals and provided 10 assists in 35 games for Borussia Dortmund in all competitions this season.
The Portugal international has been in impressive form for Borussia Dortmund this season.
Raphael Guerreiro has represented Portugal at Under-21 level, winning 13 caps, before making his senior international debut in November 2014. As a member of Portugal national football team, Raphael Guerreiro has won 19 caps and has scored two goals.
Adding a left-back remains Manchester City’s top priority this summer and Pep Guardiola will have drafted a shortlist of a number of possible targets he could approach in the coming weeks.
Pep Guardiola has always been a manager who keeps his eyes on the most talented young players across the globe.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola wants to continue to strengthening his squad so they’re able to compete both domestically and in the Champions League next season.
Manchester City are desperate to make an impact in this summer transfer window.
The left-back can also play as a full-back, offering Pep Guardiola a different option should he change his formation at Manchester City.
Juventus have reportedly registered an interest in his services and have enquired over his availability. It’s now down to the manager and the board to decide his future.
Raphael Guerreiro would reportedly be interested in a move this summer, but if Manchester City do want him, they will have to beat those other interested clubs to his signature.
