At the end of this season, Manchester City is bound to make some upgrades in the squad. The forward line, the midfield back position and the full-back position are all positions that Guardiola needs to focus on reinforcing. Haaland has been finalized on the forward line; in the midfield position, which is currently pending, many people have entered the vision of Guardiola. Here's a focus on City's reinforcement of the full-back position.
Manchester City are naturally most lacking in the full-back position, of course, the left-back. Since Frenchman Mendy was in jail, City have not had a full-fledged left-back. However, since Cancelo is also perfectly qualified for this position, and the more he plays, the more he feels, Manchester City can actually consider bringing in a right-back, which can also solve the problem of the shortage of full-back personnel.
According to the latest report of reporter Josh Wilson, Manchester City has chosen a very favorite target, he is the right-back young Guard Gusto who currently plays for Lyon in Ligue 1.
Gusto, a France U21 international, was born in May 2003 and just turned 19 this year. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a new generation of defense prodigies in France. He not only has a steady defense, strong interception and steal ability, good anticipation, good at defusing defensive crises, but also has a very offensive attribute, often using his outstanding ability to shoot the ball to create a killing opportunity for the team's right side attack. So far this season, he has played 36 games for Lyon, contributing 5 assists and 8 excellent attacking chances. If City can sign the defensive prodigy, they can undoubtedly form a perfect tactical effect with Cancelo on both wings.
It is reported that Guardiola is very appreciative of the French talent and asked Manchester City to sign him quickly. However, it is not easy for Manchester City to get the 19-year-old defensive prodigy, because in addition to Manchester City, there are four major European giants such as Real Madrid, Liverpool, Barca and Juventus who are chasing Gusto wildly.
If City want to get the prodigy, they must act early, preferably before the big 4 giants sign Gusto. Otherwise, you can only watch Gusto being snatched away by other giants.
