Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports to yet another update on Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos’s potential move to the Etihad.
Diego Carlos is one of the defender strongly linked with a move to the Etihad amongst José Giménez, Upamecano, Milan Skriniar, Nathan Ake and Kalidou Koulibaly in recent weeks, as Pep Guardiola looks to sign a new centre-back at the end of the season.
The Citizens have recently had a bid accepted from Bournemouth for defender Nathan Ake but Guardiola isn’t done there.
According to El Desmarque Sevilla via Sport_Witness, the Citizens have ‘moved seriously’ to sign Diego Carlos from Sevilla this summer and and have held informal talks, but know a deal will be difficult.
Carlos, who was from French club Nantes for a reported £13.5 million last summer, has established himself as one of La Liga’s best-performing centre-backs, registering 15 assists in 34 league appearances. Perhaps more importantly for Pep Guardiola, Carlos has averaged a pass success rate of 84.2% across the league campaign.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Chief and Man City Xtra, City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.
Iv watched this guy play, slides a lot and I mean a lot… could be giving away some penalties next season 😂— Mo_Khan (@mkhan1300) July 31, 2020
He is 6’1 and unlike Otamendi he wins almost all of his tackles. Much faster than Otamendi too— RoniB 🇫🇮 (@RoniBMCity) July 31, 2020
🤣🤣🤣 “fast Otamendi”— Fellah (@Momaverick83) July 31, 2020
He has a release clause how hard is that convince the player who cares about the clubs feelings on it— Dzeko 91:15 (@Dzeko9115) July 31, 2020
€75m release clause. €5m more and we’ve got Koulibaly.— ‘ (@mancitymj14) July 31, 2020
I though that Diaz is gonna be one of the best cb in the future, but pep maybe don’t want him— Maxito17 (@HugoHuambachano) July 31, 2020
Why is it so complicated for us to sign a world class cb to partner Laporte? We’re linked with so many possibles, ifs, maybes….JUST SIGN ONE!— ᒍᗩᗰEᔕ ᒪᗩᑕEY photo (@JamesHLacey) July 31, 2020
