Manchester City is preparing for a summer of activity and change, as the team’s poor performance this season has prompted consideration of the end of some players’ careers. Pep Guardiola has asked the club’s management to get rid of players who have not lived up to expectations and those who have disappointed, to make way for new “Galactico” stars.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper ‘‘El Nacional‘‘, one of the candidates for departure is Jeremy Doku, who was a key player at the beginning of his time with the team. He quickly adapted to the English Premier League and impressed everyone with his high physical fitness and outstanding performances. However, he was unable to maintain a consistent level, which led to his decline in the starting lineup, and he was relegated to a substitute role in most matches.
It wasn’t long before several interested parties emerged for the 22-year-old Belgian winger, most notably Barcelona. The Catalan club is closely monitoring his situation, and Joan Laporta and Deco have expressed serious interest in signing Doku. Positive reports indicate that the Belgian international is an ideal option to strengthen the attacking line, a position that needs support in the upcoming transfer window.
Hansi Flick, for his part, is suffering from a lack of reliable options to replace Rafinha Diaz and Lamine Yamal, and Doku could be the ideal solution in this context. He is considered a better option than several other players, such as Rafael Leao and Neco Williams.
Doku was offered to Barcelona by his agent, as the player decided to leave Manchester City due to unhappiness and a lack of self-confidence. He is ready to join Camp Nou and try his luck in La Liga. His agent has personally contacted Deco and Laporta to propose this deal, which could be done on loan and is not expected to cost the Catalan club much.
