There is the potential that Manchester City could be in the market for another midfielder in the near future. Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic are closer to the end of their careers than the beginning. If one or both players were to leave City next summer, the assumption would be that City would be in the market for another midfielder. PSG midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery is a player that City could target. Zaire-Emery is a player with all of the talent and potential to become an exceptional player. He is the right age and has the profile that City tends to target in a player.

A new report indicates that Manchester City are among a host of clubs interested in signing Warren Zaire-Emery if he becomes available. If City were in the market for a midfielder in the near future, Zaire-Emery does look to be a player who could slot into Pep Guardiola’s squad.

Manchester City are one of four clubs interested in signing Warren Zaire-Emery from PSG.

Mark Brus has reported via his exclusive Daily Briefing column that Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are interested in signing Warren Zaire-Emery from PSG. Furthermore, Brus reports that Zaire-Emery is facing an uncertain future at PSG. Brus adds that Zaire-Emery wants clarity over his role at the current European champions. If that doesn’t arrive, he could seek a move in the future. Brus adds that Manchester City are one of four clubs interested in signing Warren Zaire-Emery. It is also reported that Pep Guardiola is an admirer of Zaire-Emery as a player. A transfer fee of €80 million could see PSG sell Warren Zaire-Emery.

Warren Zaire-Emery could slot into Pep Guardiola’s squad if an opening arises.

As mentioned above, an opening may be available in Manchester City’s midfield in the future. Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic are the prime candidates to leave the club next summer. If either, or both, players left City, they would need to sign another midfielder. That is where the notion of City signing Warren Zaire-Emery makes sense. Zaire-Emery is only 19 years of age, but he is a player with all of the talent and potential to become a quality midfielder. Manchester City tends to sign players with their best years ahead of them, and Warren Zaire-Emery fits this bill. He is a midfielder who has already shown that he can play on the biggest stage. Zaire-Emery is just starved of opportunities at PSG. Perhaps a move to replace one of Bernardo Silva or Mateo Kovacic may appeal to the young midfielder.

Manchester City appear to be interested in signing Warren Zaire-Emery from PSG. They are reportedly one of four clubs interested in signing the young midfielder. It’s a move that makes sense from a City point of view, and perhaps is a story to watch closely in the coming months.
