Manchester City is reportedly eyeing several high-profile transfers that could potentially hijack Liverpool’s priority deals. Here are some key targets:

Potential Transfers

– Declan Rice: Manchester City intends to “push Arsenal all the way” in the race for West Ham’s Declan Rice, with a transfer fee potentially exceeding £100 million.

– Jude Bellingham: City is desperate to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham, who could command a nine-figure transfer fee.

– Josko Gvardiol: The Citizens are also interested in RB Leipzig’s central defender Josko Gvardiol, who has attracted attention from Arsenal and other top clubs.

– Gavi: Barcelona midfielder Gavi could be available for free due to La Liga’s refusal to recognize his latest contract, making him an attractive target for City.

– Alphonso Davies: Manchester City is stepping up interest in Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, competing with Real Madrid for his signature.

– Matteo Kovacic: City is targeting Chelsea’s Matteo Kovacic, with Pep Guardiola reportedly a big admirer of the Croatian midfielder.

– Ben Chilwell: Manchester City is also eyeing Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell, having previously attempted to sign him in 2020.

Liverpool’s Priority Targets

– Milos Kerkez: Liverpool’s priority target is Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, valued at around £50 million. However, Kerkez has stated he won’t sign for Liverpool, potentially opening the door for Manchester City or other clubs.

– Brentford Target: There is no direct information linking Manchester City’s interest in hijacking Liverpool’s priority transfer deal for a £17m wonderkid from Brentford. However, Liverpool has been linked to signing other players, including Federico Chiesa, who might not be part of a priority deal ¹ ².
