Manchester City fans seemed to turn into scouts after watching several of the club’s reported transfer targets in action recently.
With the January transfer window approaching, Pep Guardiola’s side is in urgent need of reinforcements for their aging squad.
While it remains to be seen whether City will make moves this winter, reports suggest the club is ready to support Guardiola by bringing in fresh talent.
One name repeatedly linked to the Etihad is Ederson Dos Santos. Reports on Tuesday valued the Atalanta midfielder at under £50 million, though the Italian club is reportedly reluctant to sell him in January.
Interestingly, Ederson previously admitted that City’s interest “flattered” him, with links between the two parties dating back to October.
After Atalanta’s recent 3-2 loss to Real Madrid, where Ederson impressed, Manchester City fans took to social media to urge the club to sign him.
One fan wrote: *“City should absolutely go for Ederson in January. Watching him today and over the past few weeks, he’s exactly what this team needs—energy, athleticism, and strength. And we could likely get him for a reasonable price.”*
Another added: *“I’ve seen enough. How much for Ederson, Atalanta?”*
Other supporters echoed similar sentiments, calling for the Brazilian’s arrival at the Etihad. Some even suggested potential swaps, with one fan saying: *“Ederson for [Ilkay] Gundogan.”*
The widespread admiration for Ederson among City fans underscores the growing demand for midfield reinforcements as the club looks to strengthen its squad in the winter transfer window.
