Report: Guardiola ready to spend £50 million on youngster who can challenge 29y/o star - originally posted on Sportslens.com
According to The Sun, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes Juventus right-back Joao Cancelo can push Kyle Walker for a first-team berth, and he is lining up a £50million move for him this summer.
With Danilo set to leave this summer in search for more playing minutes, City need a replacement and they see the Portuguese as a quality one.
At 25, Cancelo is also a fine choice to succeed the 29-year-old Walker in the long-term.
Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka was on the club’s radar, but the Eagles have slapped a £70 million asking price on the 21-year-old to put off suitors, and it seems the Premier League champions will now settle for the Juve star.
