Absolutely no chance. Even to get him in the Summer would be toughis there even a 1% chance of this happening in next few days?
Do we not play Red Bull Leipzig in a few weeks time?
I assume no release clause so how big would the offer have to be, this is just fantasy I fear!
I don’t see how a CB can play the inverted fullback roleWe don't play with a natural LB anymore. We play with a back three where the left CB spot is occupied by a left-footed CB (Ake or Laporte). Even when Cancelo was playing, he would move into midfield to form a double pivot with Rodri or Gundo. That's why he would create so many chances and make key passes - he was only behind KDB for these metrics.
Laporte might be solid in the summer, that's why Pep wants another left-footed CB, because Ake would be the only one left.
The pursuit of Cuccurela proves that we're on the lookout for a fullback who can play an inverted role as a central midfielder and not an out-and-out fullback.
Three top level CB as back ups? It's just not happening. The only way this guy comes in is if we sell two of our defenders. This isn't football manager.I think this guy to city is done personally.
I think laportes gone in the summer. It was noticable that pep chose akanji yesterday to bring on and move ruben across rather than just move ake and fetch laporte on.
Also rumours are he has a 100 million euros release clause in his contract.
get him in and were set a cb with him and ruben as our two then back ups in stones akanji and ake.
