Manchester City is reportedly plotting a strategic swap deal to outmaneuver Chelsea in the race for a Premier League star. The club aims to leverage one of their own players in exchange, signaling an aggressive approach to the summer transfer window.
City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has confirmed that the club has already identified their summer targets, highlighting the club's proactive planning.
One key target is Everton9s Young Player of the Year, Jarrad Branthwaite, a promising talent who could bolster City9s squad depth.
This move comes as part of Manchester City9s broader strategy to maintain dominance in the Premier League, following their history of high-profile signings and multiple title wins under manager Pep Guardiola.
In 2016, City signed a major player for 30m, reflecting their willingness to invest heavily in top talent.
The swap deal tactic could provide City with a competitive edge over Chelsea, who have shown interest in the same player, by offering a direct player exchange rather than a traditional transfer fee.
This approach underscores Manchester City9s ambition to strengthen their squad efficiently while navigating the complexities of the transfer market.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on City9s maneuvers to secure key players and maintain their Premier League supremacy.
