Throughout the summer, the "Manchester City" team, looking for a central defender, seems to have found an affordable option. The Portuguese media, including the publication "A Bola", reports that the English club is in negotiations with Lisbon's "Benfica" for the acquisition of 23-year-old defender Ruben Dias. R. Dias is not by any means the first choice for "Man City" in the central defender position, but "Man City" no longer has a wide selection. The Kalidou Koulibaly train has already left, and "Sevilla" demanded the full release clause of 75 million euros for Jules Kounde. R. Dias is also not a cheap option, but his services to the "Man City" team should cost around 55 million euros. It is believed that the deal may also include Pep Guardiola's unwanted Nicolas Otamendi. R. Dias, who has been wearing the "Benfica" colors since childhood, has reportedly already discussed personal contract terms with "Man City" valid until 2025. The Portuguese has already played 134 matches in the main "Benfica" team.
