The first "Manchester City" newcomer this summer could be Lisbon's "Sporting" defensive midfielder William Carvalho, as reported by the "Daily Star".
The 24-year-old European champion caught the attention of the "citizens" already last summer, but the player himself decided to stay in Portugal and wear the "Sporting" jersey for at least one more season.
It seems that W. Carvalho will try English "Premier" league football next season - "Man City" has reached an agreement with the Portuguese club for the player, which will cost the "citizens" 25 million pounds sterling.
In P. Guardiola's tactics, the defensive midfielder is perhaps the most important figure, and this season "Man City" cannot boast a player of this type.
Last summer, becoming a European champion with the Portuguese national team, W. Carvalho has already played 36 matches this season with "Sporting", scoring one goal and making four assists.
