Pep Guardiola and Manchester City do not skimp on expenses when it comes to a new signing. This time, the main rival for a player is Barcelona, who were interested in signing the "new Sergio Busquets" for the next season. The 'citizens' would be winning the battle with more millions on the table.
This is the German player Julian Weigl, who during the past season was the revelation of Borussia Dortmund and is now one of the key pieces of the team. With minutes on the German national team, Barcelona wanted to sign him to be the new replacement for Sergio Busquets, an area where they lack replacements.
However, as Sport affirms on its digital portal, Manchester City wants to sign him for 40 million euros, as Pep Guardiola wants a fresh player in the position of Fernandinho, who is already 32 years old. A new battle of millions has begun, and this time it is for a 22-year-old German 'gem'.
