Manchester City to sign talented center back!

For Manchester City, the team's performance in this season is quite good overall. Although they lost in a tough match, objectively speaking, their overall strength is still quite obvious, and considering their excellent record in the past few seasons and their rich experience, they are still one of the strongest contenders for the PL title this season. Looking at the table, Gladiola's men have 7 wins and 2 draws in 10 matches, and are in 2nd place with 23 points, 4 points away from the top team. With only about a quarter of the league played, such a gap is minimal. Moreover, from the play of the season so far, the stability of several major competitors in the league is not good enough, which is an important factor for Manchester City's team to be able to come up later.

In terms of players, Harlan has undoubtedly played the best in the team this season. The 22-year-old winger has finished with 15 goals and three assists in 10 games, and has been named man of the match three times, with an average rating of 7.88. In the Champions League, Harlan was even more efficient, finishing with 5 goals in 3 games and averaging even more than 8 points, reaching 8.34. In terms of offensive efficiency, Harlan showed a cranky level. In the league scorer list, Harlan is leading. From the current situation, he seems to be the top scorer in the league this season, but the only question is how many goals he can collect at the end of the season. In total, Harlan has attempted 44 shots this season, 25 of which have been within range of the goal, for a 57% shot on target rate. In terms of chances, of the 18 chances Harlan has had this season, he has managed to score 11 of them, a 61% chance taking ability.

It is clear from the games this season that as a center forward, Harlan does not have many touches on the ball. This season, Harlan averaged only 14.4 passes per game, which ranked 16th in the team. But he is a threat every time he gets the ball, especially when it comes to running without the ball, and often he only needs one touch to finish a shot. Combined with a top passer like DE Brine in the team, this makes Hadar more comfortable in the front line. In addition, Harold also does a pretty good job in organizing and coordinating. He can contribute an average of one key pass per game this season, which ranks 6th in the team, which is quite good with many good passers in the team. If we were to look for flaws in Harlan, the ability to head the ball has become almost the only flaw of this excellent goal scorer. This season. The average number of successful headers per game is only 0.7, as a 1.95m tall winger, such efficiency is really not ideal.

Another player who performed well was Fodder. Objectively speaking, from last season's performance, Fodder seems to have a certain degree of decline, especially compared with the amazing play when he first started, Fodder seems to have some signs of lack of backbone. In many important games, Guardian did not choose to start Fodder, and even put him on the bench for the whole game. However, from this season's performance, Fodder has shown a very good level of competition, finishing with 6 goals and 4 assists in 10 league games, averaging a direct involvement in a goal per game, with an average rating of 7.61 points, second only to Harlan in the team. With such an excellent performance, the team also chose to extend his contract. In terms of technical characteristics, Fodder has a very good physical quality and speed advantage, so he does a very good job in vertical advancement, which is unmatched by players like Alisha and Maghreb. It is predictable that in many seasons to come, Harlan and Fodder will become the most relied upon players by Guardian.

Bernardo Silva has also played quite well this season, he finished with 2 goals and 4 assists in 10 league games, with an average rating of 7.09 points. In the transfer market, the 28-year-old midfielder's price has risen to 80 million euros. From the current situation, the biggest difference between Bernardo Silva and the rest of his teammates is that he has been wanting to leave the team. According to the English media, Bernardo Silva's agent has been working on the player's departure. In the case of the player has decided to go, the Manchester City side has no intention to block, but their asking price for the star midfielder is more than 80 million euros.

In addition, the team is also continuing to seek to further strengthen the lineup, especially in the back line, Stones, Teleport and other players whose attendance rate has been unsatisfactory, unable to make consistent contributions to the team in the long season. In this situation, Manchester City wants to sign a center back of excellent standard. According to French media Sportspeople, City is very interested in the talented center back Antonio Silva who plays for Benefice. It is reported that Antonio Silva's contract has a release clause of 100 million euros. City are expected to activate this clause in order to sign the young center-back.
