Premier League champions Manchester City have reportedly reached out to Jose Maria Orobitg, the agent of 22-year-old Spanish defender Mika Marmol, as per a report by Spanish outlet MARCA. Marmol, who currently plays for UD Las Palmas in La Liga, has attracted interest from Manchester City, with Barcelona also keeping a close eye on any potential deal involving the young center-back.

Mika Marmol, a product of Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy, has made a name for himself as one of the top young defenders in La Liga since his move to UD Las Palmas. After leaving Barcelona in 2022 and having stints with FC Andorra before joining Las Palmas, Marmol has been a key figure for his current club, featuring in 26 matches and contributing with an assist this season.

The impressive performances of Marmol at UD Las Palmas have not gone unnoticed, with reports suggesting that clubs like Girona are interested in signing the Spanish defender. Barcelona sees Manchester City as a potential pathway to secure Marmol’s services, but the Premier League champions are also keen on acquiring the talented youngster.

Manchester City’s pursuit of Mika Marmol involves contacting his agent, Jose Maria Orobitg, with the possibility of bringing the defender to the Etihad Stadium or even considering a loan or sale to Girona. Additionally, Barcelona stands to benefit financially from any transfer involving Marmol, as they would receive a share of the sale proceeds.

As Manchester City and Girona continue to show interest in Marmol, the situation remains intriguing, especially given the strong defensive lineup that City currently boasts. It remains to be seen if Manchester City will ultimately secure the services of the promising Spanish defender amid competition from other clubs and the watchful eye of Barcelona.
