Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are keen on acquiring the services of Brighton midfield sensation Diego Gomez.
Manchester City already have a star-studded squad, but they are constantly on the lookout for players who can help further bolster their ranks. According to a report from Fichajes, the Premier League giants have identified Diego Gomez as an option to strengthen their midfield.
Given his performances for Brighton, City are plotting a raid on the Seagulls. Pep Guardiola’s team already initiated a move to sign the 22-year-old, who hasn’t looked back since joining the English club at the start of 2025.
Gomez made a name for himself while playing for Inter Miami before making the move to England. Over the last 14 months, the Paraguayan international has played 50 games for the Seagulls and has even contributed towards 12 goals.
While he prefers playing as a central midfielder, he is capable enough to take up any role in midfield and is equally effective on the flanks. Thanks to his impressive performances, massive potential and versatility, multiple top clubs now want to sign him.
Guardiola’s team wants to sign Gomez
Manchester City have emerged as a potential destination for the 22-year-old. Their scouts have taken note of his performances and are beleived to be very impressed with him. The Premier League giants have already started making moves to bring him to the club.
They have initiated the first formal contacts as they look to strike a deal for Gomez’s signature. With Bernardo Silva likely to leave the club at the end of the season, City have identified the Paraguayan international as an ideal long-term replacement.
While Brighton invested just €13 million to sign him, his value has already gone up to €25 million. The Seagulls are in no rush to negotiate his departure and will only let him leave if there is a significant offer on the table.
City do have the financial strength to get a deal over the line, but it will be interesting to see if they do actually go ahead with it.
