Manchester City<\/a> have now made an approach to sign a Premier League<\/a> star, with former manager Pep Guardiola regarded as a big admirer.<\/p>\n

\n Man City stepping up pursuit of forward with Savinho’s future in doubt<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

With Jeremy Doku holding down a place at left-wing for the majority of the 2025-26 campaign, Savinho often found consistent game time difficult to come by, and Fabrizio Romano has revealed Man City could now be open to selling the Brazilian, amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old featured for just 821 minutes across 24 appearances in the Premier League<\/a>, having often been utilised as a late substitute by Guardiola, while he was also sidelined for an extended period due to a thigh injury.<\/p>\n

As a result, despite having the most potent attack in the Premier League last season, City have now set out to sign a new forward in the summer transfer window, which opens on June 15th. <\/p>\n

\n Man City make approach to sign “elite” Premier League forward<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

In a recent post on X, Romano has revealed Man City have now made calls to sign AFC Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi<\/a>, with Arsenal also making an approach, in order to be ‘informed’ about his situation this summer.<\/p>\n

The Gunners are lining up a deal for the Frenchman, but it could be difficult to get a deal over the line, given that he has a \u00a387m<\/a> release clause in his Bournemouth contract, which isn’t set to become active until the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the Cherries are very keen to keep hold of the 19-year-old, who enjoyed a very impressive debut campaign in the Premier League, finding the back of the net 13 times in 33 appearances. <\/p>\n

Guardiola<\/a> is regarded as a big fan of the teenager, who has also been lauded as an “elite talent” by scout Jacek Kulig<\/a>, and he is capable of playing in the number 10 role, as well as at centre-forward and left-wing.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but there are indications the youngster could be a big-game player, having scored in both of Bournemouth’s games against Manchester United and Arsenal, and against Man City in the penultimate game of the season.<\/p>\n

As such, Kroupi could now be ready to take the next step by joining a Champions League side, and City should definitely pursue a move if Savinho moves on.<\/p>\n
