Manchester City set sights on new Spanish full-back just weeks after Sergio Gomez signing

It has previously been reported that Pep Guardiola will be given the licence to bring in new players in the January transfer window to further bolster his squad.

This will also increase the chances of fatigue and injury for them, especially as partaking in an international tournament mid-season remains unprecedented.

Despite Joao Cancelo picking up exactly where he left off from last term, the use of Sergio Gomez so far is a cause for concern amongst several Manchester City supporters.

With the Spaniard handed just one start up until this point, there are many that believe that he is not deemed ready yet to push Cancelo for first-team minutes yet.

As a result, a fresh revelation suggests that Pep Guardiola’s side are eyeing the addition of yet another left-back.

It has been claimed that the good news for the Sky Blues remains that Benfica are understood to have considered the Spaniard’s sale in January, considering his current contract expires next summer.

It is mentioned that Juve have their sights set on Grimaldo, who in turn is said to be open to a move to Turin or any new destination currently.

Only time will tell whether City’s interest is significant enough for them to snap the La Masia graduate in January, or risk losing out on his arrival by assessing the situation in the summer.

Ultimately, the arrival of a brand-new left-back such as Alejandro Grimaldo could elevate the side’s chance of reigning supreme on a number of fronts at the end of the season.
