Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are considering making a move for Athletic Club midfield sensation Mikel Jauregizar.
Manchester City have been one of the most active teams in the ongoing transfer window. They are looking at ways to reinforce Pep Guardiola’s team and give everything that is needed to ensure they can bounce back after a poor first half of the season.
City are already closing in on the signing of quite a few top players and according to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Premier League giants are plotting a raid on Athletic Club for the services of Mikel Jauregizar. The Spanish youth international has had an impressive rise, and the English giants are looking to incorporate him into their team.
Jauregizar joined Athletic Club back in the summer of 2021. He went up the ranks at some pace and made his first-team debut towards the end of 2023. The 21-year-old got promoted to the senior side ahead of the ongoing season, and he has already made quite a name for himself with his consistent performances in the centre of the park.
In his 32 appearances for the first team, Jauregizar has showcased maturity beyond his age. The Spaniard has the ability to control the tempo of the game, and he has the vision to find attackers in dangerous positions. His abilities along with his massive potential have resulted in interest from quite a few top clubs.
Manchester City want to sign Athletic Club sensation
Pep Guardiola has taken note of his performances and is reportedly keen on having him in his squad. His style of play makes him an ideal fit for the Spanish manager’s system and with Manchester City looking to freshen things up in midfield, Jauregizar could be a great investment for the long run.
Manchester City are reportedly leading the race for his signature, and they could make an offer for his services in the coming weeks. But, it won’t be easy to convince Athletic Club to part ways with one of their most valuable asset. They are known for protecting their talents and will try hard to convince the 21-year-old to continue in Spain.
