Manchester City have reportedly contacted the entourage of Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas, a player who is also on the transfer radar of Manchester United. Mandas, who joined Lazio last summer, has impressed with his performances, boasting a save percentage higher than Lazio’s first-choice goalkeeper. With speculations about the future of City’s current goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega, and his contract expiring in 2025, City’s interest in Mandas may be to secure a potential replacement for Ortega.
The 22-year-old Greek international has made 10 appearances for Lazio, conceding seven goals and keeping five clean sheets. City’s approach to Mandas suggests their willingness to sign young talents from foreign clubs, as seen in previous transfer windows with signings like Jeremy Doku and Josko Gvardiol. Mandas has been described as an “excellent” goalkeeper by former Lazio striker Fabrizio Ravanelli, which highlights the potential City sees in him for the future.
As Mandas continues to impress for Lazio, his performances will be closely monitored by both Manchester City and Manchester United. It remains to be seen if Mandas will make a move to Manchester in the upcoming summer transfer window, with both clubs showing interest in securing his services. The development adds an interesting dimension to the transfer market, as City look to bolster their squad with promising young talent like Mandas.
