Man City eye £18m-rated 21yo with more dribbles than Raheem Sterling

According to Fichajes, Manchester City are keeping an eye on Riqui Puig and may have to battle Bayern Munich for his signature. The £18m-rated 21-year-old has an uncertain future at Barcelona due to a lack of playing time and may refuse to sign a contract beyond 2021 as a result.

Pep Guardiola isn’t short of midfielders with Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Rodri and Fernandinho at his disposal, but Puig would be considered a bargain buy if he’s attainable on a pre-contract deal in January. Bayern’s interest may throw a spanner in the works, however.
