Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the Premier League champions are keen on Signing Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht, then loaning him out to sister club Girona.
Pep Guardiola’s side are in talks to sign the Spaniard from Anderlecht after ending their pursuit of Marc Cucurella, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano.
The 21-year-old is viewed as a future star by the defending Premier League champions amid their lack of options at left-back.
The fee rumoured for Brighton’s Cucurella was in access of £40 million, a price tag of which you’d expect a player to have heavy involvement in their first team.
However City’s may have a different type of plan for their alternative Sergio Gomez, should they complete the deal.
The latest update on the negotiations for the 21-year-old comes from Fabrizio Romano via his Twitter account.
Fabrizio Romano reported, “Manchester City are in negotiations with Anderlecht for Sergio Gómez, there’s an internal discussion about a potential loan to Girona to follow in case an agreement will be reached.”

“What’s the point? Take the risk give him some playing time, can’t be worse than the poor performances Mendy put out when he played.”

“It would be very stupid to sign a left back then loan him when we have no left backs now.”
