Manchester City could offer Joao Cancelo in exchange for Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry as manager Pep Guardiola looks for a goalscoring winger.
This is according to Fichajes, who say that the out-of-favour Cancelo could be used as a makeweight in a deal to bring Gnabry to the Etihad.
Cancelo made the surprise loan switch to the Allianz Arena on January’s deadline day and has impressed for the German champions, playing in six of the team’s seven games since arriving, registering a goal and two assists.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern have the option to buy Cancelo permanently in the summer for €70million, but Bayern could be offered the Portuguese fullback at the expense of a Gnabry exit.
A speedy winger, Gnabry has 12 goals and 11 assists this season and would be the first winger of his profile to play at City since the likes of Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane, who offered City serious pace down the flanks a few seasons ago.
Elsewhere, Manchester City are set to reignite their interest in Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz who is on the radar of a few European clubs.
Wirtz is back in action following a knee ligament injury he picked up in March that ruled him out for nine months, as he missed the World Cup in the process.
However, Hansi Flick has called him up to the Germany squad for their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifier matches as a reward for his four assists for Leverkusen in the last nine matches.
His electric return to form has alerted Manchester City who according to 90Min, have reignited their interest in the midfielder ahead of a potential summer move for the player.
Wirtz’s four assists upon his return to action are no flash in the pan, with the youngster registering seven goals and ten assists last season until he picked up his season-ending injury as the hype around him begins to resurface.
