Manchester City are currently pursuing two exciting new signings, Jarrad Branthwaite and Jeremie Frimpong, in an effort to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. This follows a series of high-profile transfer rumors linking City with some of the biggest names in European football. Despite their efforts, City find themselves behind Manchester United in the race to secure the two players.
Frimpong, who previously played for Manchester City at the youth level, has a release clause of £35 million in his current agreement with Bayer Leverkusen. If City make a move for him, it is suggested that he would have no hesitation in returning to the Etihad Stadium. Branthwaite, on the other hand, has been performing well for Everton this season, scoring three goals and making 37 appearances across all competitions.
Pep Guardiola’s contract at Manchester City is set to expire at the end of the 2024/25 season, but there is a desire within the club to extend his tenure by at least another year. City are focused on building a strong squad to compete for trophies, with Everton and Bayer Leverkusen being potential sources of new talent. Despite United’s current advantage in pursuing Branthwaite and Frimpong, City remain determined to secure the signings that will enhance their squad for the future.
