Man City in five-way race to sign 5ft 7in man, club rejected €70m bid from Euro giants

According to MSN, Manchester City are interested in Tete and may have to battle Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Leicester City and Newcastle United to procure his signature.

The 20-year-old has scored 15 goals and made 12 assists in 63 games since joining Shakhtar Donetsk from Gremio in February 2019, and is a regular under Luis Castro this season.

Shakhtar are keen to keep Tete at the National Sports Complex and MSN say they’ve already turned down a €70m (£62.6m) offer from Bayern. Whether City are willing to make an improved bid on that figure remains to be seen.
