"Manchester City" are making plans to outwit their competitors and acquire "Monaco" attacking midfielder Thomas Lemar, according to the reliable English newspaper "Daily Telegraph".
The French national team member was on the verge of moving to London's "Arsenal" in the summer, but he did not join the team due to technical difficulties, while the "City" did not receive Alexis Sanchez either.
After the collapse of this transfer, the 21-year-old footballer was seriously interested in "Liverpool", who will need to replace the departed Philippe Coutinho.
It is believed that both "Man City" and their rivals in the "Premier" league will submit offers for Lemar again during the upcoming offseason. However, the leaders of the English championship, who have much larger financial resources, will seek not to fall behind any sum.
The Frenchman scored three goals and provided eight assists within the season at "Monaco". In Manchester, he will have the opportunity to play again with former teammates Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy.
