There is still time for Manchester City to find a midfielder as their search continues | OneFootball

As it stands currently, Manchester City is currently spinning multiple plates in the transfer market. The world champions are busy trying to sign multiple players to strengthen their squad. But in the background to all of this City’s need for a quality midfielder still lingers. At the time of writing a clear midfield target for Manchester City is yet to emerge. But a new report indicates that City are currently scouring the market for a midfielder. It just remains to be seen who City will move for but they still have plenty of time to find the ideal target.

Martin Blackburn has reported for the Sun that Manchester City are still on the search for a defensive midfielder. Blackburn also reports that City are currently working on completing deals for Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis. City are currently in negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt, Lens and Palmeiras for those three players. But in the background, City is still on the hunt for a midfielder.

Manchester City still have plenty of time to find the ideal midfielder to bolster their engine room. The January transfer window still has over three weeks to run before it closes. There is no doubt that the Premier League champions are in the search for a midfielder to cover Rodri’s absence, it’s just that a concrete target is yet to emerge. Jack Gaughan has previously reported for the Daily Mail that Atalanta’s midfield powerhouse Ederson is a City target. But as of yet it remains unsure if City will move for the Brazilian.

Manchester City will know that they need a midfielder. They know they can’t enter February with the midfield they currently have. Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva can’t be expected to carry the midfield burden they have for the remainder of this season. But finding a midfielder that can cover Rodri’s absence due to injury and potentially play alongside him when he returns is no simple task. That’s the task City is faced with, and rest assured they are working on it at the same time as they are moving to sign other transfer targets.

The transfer window still has plenty of time left in it for City to find a midfielder. Finding a specific type of player is no means feat. But they will be busy working on finding that type of player although a concrete target for Pep Guardiola’s squad is yet to emerge.
