Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Pep Guardiola’s side are one of several premier league club showing interest in Villarreal winger Alex Baena.
Baena was on loan to Girona in Spain last season, scoring five goals in 38 matches. Baena is now a regular under Unai Emery since her return to Villarreal in the summer.
The 21-year-old has hit the ground running this season for the La Liga outfit and has scored six goals and registered two assists in 10 appearances for the Yellows (across all competitions).
The Spaniard performances so far this season has attracted the attention of many of Europe’s largest clubs.
According to a report by Fichajes (via Caught Offside), Manchester City and Liverpool are the two most interested clubs in Baena.
As per the report, Baena currently has a release clause of €35m in his Villarreal contract but the Spaniards are eager for him to sign a new deal to increase that figure and to therefore reduce the likeliness of any departure in the near future.
The report shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters.
