Cityzens are still on lookout for perfect replacement for Mahrez

Manchester City, under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, is reportedly considering a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger, Pedro Neto. This comes after a transformative summer at the Etihad and ahead of an anticipated summer transfer window. The focus is on strengthening the right wing following Riyad Mahrez's departure last year.

Guardiola has experimented with various players on the right-hand side since Mahrez's exit, including Jeremy Doku, Bernardo Silva, and Phil Foden. However, he is now exploring options to bring in a more natural fit for this position. According to reliable reports, Pedro Neto has emerged as a potential candidate that could fill this gap.

The Portuguese winger demonstrated exceptional form at the beginning of the season before suffering an injury setback. He contributed eight assists for Wolves during this period which caught attention from several quarters including Manchester City who are now eyeing him as potential solution to strengthen their squad.

Despite his injury woes and competition from other Premier League clubs like Arsenal whose manager Mikel Arteta also admires him greatly, 23-year-old Neto remains hot property in Premier League football circles.

Pedro Neto needs to regain his top form after returning from long injury

After spending months on sidelines due to injury, Pedro Neto made his highly anticipated return in the Everton match on December 30th. Although limited to just ten minutes off the bench in that game, his return marks significant progress towards full fitness and will likely draw further attention from both Manchester City and Arsenal.

Guardiola currently plans significant transfers in the upcoming summer window with securing dynamic players high on his agenda. The interest shown by ManCity in Pedro Neto suggests strategic planning aimed at bringing in a player who can offer a natural and impactful presence on the right flank.

The summer transfer window promises to be an exciting time for both Manchester City and Wolves as they navigate the possibilities surrounding Neto’s future in the Premier League. As sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts, we can only wait with bated breath to see how this potential transfer saga unfolds.
