P. Guardiola aimed at the European champion

"Manchester City" is planning to strengthen a crucial position in Pep Guardiola's game in the summer.

"TalkSport" claims that the "Man City" club led by P. Guardiola will offer a contract to 24-year-old European champion William Carvalho after the season.

Defensive midfielder playing for Lisbon's "Sporting" has long been linked with London's "Arsenal", but the latter refused to pay the requested sum by the Portuguese.

It is claimed that the "cityzens" are ready to pay 35 million pounds sterling for the Portuguese national team security, but it is unclear if this amount will be enough to attract the promising player.

P. Guardiola has serious problems in the defensive midfielder position this season - Fernandinho plays very unstably and faces strict penalties for unsportsmanlike behavior. The defensive line should also remain without Yaya Toure this summer.

W. Carvalho played 29 matches and scored one goal for "Sporting" this season."
