Manchester City could make ‘pharaonic offer’ for Inter Milan superstar – Transfer depends on two factors | OneFootball

According to a new report, Manchester City could make a ‘pharaonic offer’ for one Inter Milan star next summer, but a potential deal would depend on two important factors.

City had a relatively quiet summer transfer window, bringing in just two players as Savinho signed as an extra winger, while Ilkay Gundogan re-joined the club to boost the midfield quality in Pep Guardiola’s squad.

The Cityzens have been regularly linked to Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella in recent summer transfer windows, and faced up against the midfielder’s qualities once again on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League.

The Italian international impressed onlookers against Pep Guardiola’s midfield unit during the 0-0 draw on matchday one of the league phase, and it seems he will continue to be linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium.

According to a new report from InterLive, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness, there could be a ‘pharaonic offer’ arriving from the Premier League champions next summer for the Inter midfielder.

However, it has been further detailed that two significant factors depend on the 27-year-old midfielder agreeing to a move into the Premier League champions – who remain intent on strengthening an ageing roster.

The report claims that it would depend on any punishment not having happened by then or not being too severe, with Manchester City currently locked in a battle before an independent commission with the Premier League over their notorious 115 charges.

According to the latest understanding around the situation, the case concerning Manchester City and their fate could take around ten weeks, with a final decision expected to be announced in early 2025.

For Nicolo Barella, it is pointed out that the Italian would want Pep Guardiola to remain as manager at the Etihad Stadium, with the Catalan coach having less than 12 months remaining on his existing deal.

Pep Guardiola joined Manchester City back in the summer of 2016, replacing Manuel Pellegrini, and going on to taken control of the Premier League, winning six titles during his time at the club.

Reports surrounding Nicolo Barella will likely continue to circulate around Manchester City and their future market activity in the coming months ahead of upcoming transfer windows and the ongoing hunt for longer-term Kevin De Bruyne support and replacements.
