Fans reacts as Manchester City ‘interested’ in €40M-rated Serie A left-back

Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report to yet another update of the club’s interest in Atalanta left-back Robin Gosens.

The full-back spot in particular remains an issue throughout Pep Guardiola’s time at the club, with Benjamin Mendy failing to push his game on.

The French international has had his fair share of troubles with recurrent injuries coupled with poor form and is starting to turn into a liability for Pep Guardiola.

The use of Zinchenko and the recent form of Joao Cancelo may have provided yet another short-term solution, but a competent true left-back is needed at the club.

TuttoMercato earlier this week reported that City have identified Atalanta’s Robin as a possible successor of Zinchenko.

According to the lastest report from journalist Marco Conterio of TuttoMercatoWeb, Atalanta are now ‘certain’ that the summer will mark a ‘farewell’ for their German left-back Robin Gosens.

The report claims Man City ‘have been following’ Gosens for ‘some time’ and have ‘already joined the list of suitors’, with the German on ‘the shortlist’.

The report adds that Atalanta have set a price of €40M for the German international and City could face some competition from both Inter and Juventus.

It remains to be seen what City do in the summer, but it’s clear they need a new left back with neither Benjamin Mendy or Oleksandr Zinchenko completely convincing in recent seasons.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, Many man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.

Let’s just not buy any more left backs for a while. spent enough on them these past few years and pep is obviously never going to be satisfied. Zinchenko And cancelo are doing a great job especially with centre backs like Dias and Laporte covering for them defensively
