Nicky Butt, former Manchester United midfielder, believes that Lille star Angel Gomes has the talent to play for Manchester City. Gomes, who came through United’s academy under Butt’s coaching, made his England debut recently and has been impressing both fans and pundits with his performances. With his contract set to expire next summer, multiple Premier League clubs, including City, are expected to pursue him due to his homegrown player status.
While Gomes may be a potential target for Manchester City, the club’s main focus in midfield is believed to be Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala, whose contract also expires soon. Musiala is considered a top target for City to strengthen their midfield, although they may still be keeping close tabs on Gomes as well. Despite having other targets in mind, the talent and potential of both Gomes and Musiala make them attractive options for City in the upcoming transfer windows.
With Gomes’ contract set to expire and his impressive performances for both Lille and the England national team, the midfielder is likely to attract significant interest from elite clubs like Manchester City. While Butt believes Gomes could easily play for City, the club’s primary target to strengthen their midfield remains Musiala from Bayern Munich. As City weighs their options for the upcoming seasons, it will be interesting to see if they make a move for either Gomes, Musiala, or possibly both talented midfielders.
