Guardiola to improve City’s solidity with goalkeeper capture

 

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has eyed Marc-Andre her Stegen as his next summer signing, reports the Sunday Express. 

 

City on Saturday confirmed their sixth signing of the summer with the arrival of Marlos Moreno and Guardiola has now turned his attention towards the defence after strengthening the attack. 

 

The Spaniard has supposedly identified goalkeeper Joe Hart as a weak area of the City squad, with his underwhelming performances at Euro 2016 doing little to ease Guardiola’s concerns.

The City boss will now look to raid former side Barcelona for Ter Stegen, who is unhappy at not being first choice for the La Liga champions. 

 

Barcelona are reportedly open to offers for the 24-year-old German, but insist City meet the goalkeeper’s £67m release clause.
