Manchester City have decided not to make a bid for Bayer Leverkusen wingback Jeremie Frimpong this summer, as they plan to keep hold of Kyle Walker. Despite interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, it seems like Walker will remain at the Etihad Stadium for at least another season. Frimpong’s release clause had expired and City did not make a move for him when he was available for €40m, suggesting their faith in Walker.
City’s transfer activity will depend on potential departures, with Ederson reportedly angling for a move to Saudi Arabia. The club is holding out for a £50m fee for the Brazilian goalkeeper. If Ederson does leave, City will need to find a replacement, with Ajax’s Diant Ramaj rumored to have been scouted as a potential understudy for Stefan Ortega. In addition, fans should keep an eye on Julian Alvarez’s situation, as a replacement may be needed for the Argentinian international if he pushes for a move.
Manchester City have not pursued other players like Jeremie Frimpong, with reports of interest from Liverpool and Manchester United as well. The club seems focused on retaining their current squad for the upcoming season, although potential departures could lead to new signings. The decision to keep Kyle Walker suggests that City are confident in their defensive options for the upcoming campaign.
