Just now, according to the latest news brought by the British media Times Sport. Manchester City have a major deal in the summer window, and as the team looks to strengthen their midfield position, they are looking to bring in Barcelona star Pedri next. For this, the Manchester City hierarchy are willing to pay the Red and Blue an irresistible price, and there has been brief contact between the two sides.

It is reported that Manchester City are so desperate to sign Pedri. In addition to the need for a new midfield core in their own right, it is more important that manager Pep Guardiola has made it clear to the hierarchy. The signing of Pedri will be an important part of the team's team building in the next 5~0 years, so the management decided to meet his needs. Objectively speaking, the problem with Manchester City's squad at this stage comes from the midfield. The last batch of Manchester City's core main players, led by De Bruyne, have declined significantly. In Pep Guardiola's tactical system, if there is no connection and organization in the midfield, then the team's offensive and defensive system tends to be paralyzed.

Manchester City have already suffered a bitter fruit this season, with the team withdrawing from the Champions League and the Premier League. The solution to all this is to establish a new core of midfield to achieve a transition in the squad. This will not be difficult for Manchester City to achieve as they have ample transfer fees in their hands. Previously, the team tried to compete for Leverkusen star Wirtz, but two reasons made Manchester City gradually give up. First of all, the cost of bringing in Wirtz was enormous. Real Madrid, Bayern and other teams are eyeing each other, and Bayer Leverkusen is also constantly raising the asking price. On that basis, Wirtz prefers to go to La Liga, or stay at Bayern Munich on home soil, rather than the Premier League.

同時第2個原因就是，隨著賽季的推移勒沃庫森的中場控制力開始削弱。維爾茨的表現也開始出現起伏，這令曼城認為並不是一個好的信號。畢竟過去幾年，英超從德甲高價引進的一批新星基本都水掉了。萬一曼城高價將維爾茨帶到球隊之後成為水貨，那將得不償失，也會延緩球隊更新換代的節奏。

So the team immediately switched targets and hoped to bring in Barcelona's Pedri. The player has played 7 games for Barcelona in all competitions this season, scoring five goals and providing 0 assists. As a non-attacking midfielder, such statistics are luxurious. Whether it is attendance or stadium performance, Pedri can be called the core at this stage. Even in the eyes of many media and fans, Pedri's performance this season can win the title of the current No. 1 midfielder. This kind of praise is already very positive, and if he can join Manchester City, Guardiola will inevitably have Pedri as the new core of the team. At that time, Manchester City's midfield will usher in a huge improvement.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no problem at all with him being used as a stand-in for De Bruyne. For a pass-and-control team, Pedri is the best engine at this stage. Of course, Pedri is a good fit for City, but the price is not insignificant. According to Times Sport, Manchester City have assessed the deal at €80 million, knowing that the Red and Blue will not let Pedri go easily. Therefore, Manchester City will increase their investment in transfer fees, and to some extent, Manchester City must lock in a new midfield core in the summer window at this stage. He has to be young enough to take on the core responsibilities.

As long as one can be locked, then Manchester City will still be a strong contender in all competitions in the next 8~0 season. They can also regain their dominance and thus get out of the slump of the season. Based on this, the Manchester City hierarchy and Pep Guardiola feel that the high transfer fee is worth it. So in your opinion, Barcelona, which is currently financially tight, will be tempted in the face of a transfer fee of 00 million euros? You are welcome to discuss in the comment section.
