While Manchester City have rebuilt Pep Guardiola’s squad this summer they have also signed elite young talent for the future. Manchester City’s signing of Sverre Nypan from Rosenberg emphasises this point. The young Norwegian midfielder does figure to have a bright future at the club. Now it has been discovered by Esteemed Kompany sources that City are edging closer to signing talented young winger Maher Carrizo from Velez Sarsfield. If Manchester City can complete a move for Carrizo they’ll be signing yet another promising young talent who could be a prominent player in the future.
Esteemed Kompany sources have learned that Manchester City are edging close to signing Maher Carrizo from Velez Sarsfield. Furthermore, it has also been revealed that City will pay no more than €16 million to sign Carrizo from Velez Sarsfield if the deal is completed. However, City do face competition from Arsenal, Manchester United, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers to sign the talented young winger.
If Manchester City do complete the signing of Maher Carrizo this summer it is expected that he will be loaned to River Plate. It is expected that by loaning Carrizo to River Plate, it would aid his development ahead of a move to the Etihad. That is the path that Claudio Echeverri and Julian Alvarez took before moving to the Etihad.
Young winger Maher Carrizo is yet another prodigiously talented young player to emerge from Argentina. Carrizo is a versatile player who can play in a variety of roles. Typically, Carrizo plays on the right wing. But he can operate centrally and his game does lend itself to playing on the left wing.
What catches the eye in the play of Maher Carrizo is his dribbling ability and close control. He is also a quick player with an eye for goal. Carrizo covers the pitch well with his athleticism. Although it must be said he is a raw prospect. If he were to be signed by Manchester City he’d likely follow a similar path to that of Claudio Echeverri. A loan spell in Argentina at River Plate is likely before Maher Carrizo arrives at the Etihad. He isn’t yet ready to compete for a role in Pep Guardiola’s squad. He is a raw talent with bags of potential.
Manchester City are seemingly edging closer to signing Maher Carrizo from Velez Sarsfield. The 19 year old winger is highly regarded young prospect and if City complete a deal to sign him they’ll be adding another talented young player to add to the mix.
