Reports suggest that Premier League champions Manchester City are considering a potential replacement for Kyle Walker from Paris Saint-Germain for this summer. Walker was linked with a move away during the last summer transfer window but ultimately stayed at Manchester City and extended his contract. However, his performances have left some City fans frustrated, leading to calls for the club to assess the market for a potential replacement.
Manchester City’s attention has now turned to Ligue 1 and Paris Saint-Germain, particularly amid the expected departure of Kylian Mbappe. According to reports, Achraf Hakimi is ‘keen’ to leave PSG amid interest from both Real Madrid and Manchester City. However, PSG is looking to extend Hakimi’s contract despite his intention to leave in the coming months. Both Real Madrid and Manchester City are reportedly attentive to his situation.
In addition to Hakimi, Manchester City may also make a decision on the future of on-loan right-back Yan Couto. Couto, who has been excelling at Girona in Spain, is likely to return to Manchester City this summer for assessment during the preseason campaign. He could be joined by his current Girona teammate, Savio, whom Manchester City secured a deal for from fellow City Football Group side ESTAC Troyes.
The club is expected to issue a financial outlay in the region of €30 million for the Brazilian winger. With these potential moves on the horizon, Manchester City is gearing up for preparations ahead of the 2024/25 season, including a trip to the United States for preseason training. The club’s interest in players from Paris Saint-Germain and other potential signings suggests that there could be some changes to the squad in the upcoming transfer window.
