A PSG midfielder is looming as a transfer target for Manchester City | OneFootball

The time is coming when Manchester City will have to replace Bernardo Silva. Bernardo has been a warrior for Pep Guardiola’s side. But he is getting towards the end of his time at the club. Whether it comes at the end of this season or not, Bernardo Silva will have to be replaced. Finding a player who could replace the City captain will be no easy task. A new report indicates that PSG midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery is looming as a transfer target for Manchester City. Zaire-Emery could be a replacement for Manchester City’s captain. However, he is a different type of midfielder to Bernardo.

Manchester City are reportedly monitoring PSG midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery.

French publication Jeunes Footeux has reported that Manchester City are hopeful of signing PSG midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery. Furthermore, it is reported that Pep Guardiola considers Zaire-Emery a dream signing. It is also reported that Guardiola wants to work with Zaire-Emery at Manchester City. Jeunes Footeux reports that PSG have slapped an £87 million price tag on Zaire-Emery. Whether or not City are willing to pay such a hefty price to sign the young midfielder remains to be seen.

Warren Zaire-Emery is a player with loads of talent and potential, who could fit in at Manchester City.

As a player, Warren Zaire-Emery is a box-to-box midfielder with a wide array of passing. He is a dynamic player who can get up and down the pitch with ease due to his athleticism and size. Zaire-Emery’s physical attributes do appear suited to playing in the Premier League.

Where Zaire-Emery truly excels as a player is with his passing ability and ability to win duels in midfield. The French midfielder is also a strong dribbler, which helps him progress the ball up the pitch. All told, Zaire-Emery could slot into Pep Guardiola’s squad based on his talent and clear potential.

My only question would be, would PSG sell Warren Zaire-Emery? He has always seemed to be the future of their midfield. Perhaps he isn’t the ideal fit in midfield for Luis Enrique’s side. That could see him assess his options at the end of this season. But for now, it does seem that Manchester City do have an interest in signing Warren Zaire-Emery. Whether or not he’s an attainable transfer target remains to be seen.
