After such a strong campaign last season, the Citizens were always going to have a quiet summer, and they certainly have had that. Just one major signing has been made so far, with Riyad Mahrez coming to the Etihad, though you’d expect a few more to join in the coming weeks if Pep Guardiola gets his way.
According to Bild (via the Manchester Evening News), one player that Man City could be keen on a move for is former Barcelona ace Thiago.
Thiago, who is rated at £54 million by Transfer Markt, currently plays for Bayern Munich, having moved to the club when Pep Guardiola was the manager of the German side, and he hasn’t had the easiest time since the Spaniard left the club.
Now, Bayern could be ready to sell him, and if he were to select the Etihad as a destination and Man City wanted him, it appears as though many fans would be very pleased.
Lots of Man City supporters have taken to Twitter to discuss the report linking the club with Thiago, and it’s a deal that would go down very well indeed. Supporters are touting him as the perfect signing.
Take a look at what they’ve had to say below…

Significantly, the Independent is reporting that Man Utd are keen on the Spaniard – so perhaps the two Manchester rival could look to battle it out once again.
