# Manchester City: Fans fume over transfer report hinting at possible sale of Angelino

**A number of Manchester City fans have voiced their displeasure with transfer reports indicating the potential sale of Angelino.**

[TransferMarkt UK](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rb-leipzig-loan-army-ethan-ampadu-back-to-chelsea-angelino-negotiations/view/news/360408) reported that RB Leipzig, where the left-back is currently on loan, have until 15 June to trigger a clause to sign him permanently, with any such deal costing them €22m (£19.44m). Although this figure is likely to exceed the German club’s budget, Manchester City have indicated a willingness to negotiate, with the update shared on Twitter by [@SuperbiaProelia](https://twitter.com/SuperbiaProeIia/status/1260366426457747458).

> RB Leipzig have until June 15th to make Angelino's move permanent for €22million, but this is too much for the club.
>
> Manchester City have signalled that they would be willing to negotiate.

The 23-year-old was previously [on City’s books for five years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angelino/transfers/spieler/277179) before they [re-signed him from PSV Eindhoven](https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/first-team-news/2019/july/man-city-sign-angelino-psv-transfer-latest-update) last summer, although he has only made [15 senior appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angelino/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/277179/verein/281) for the Cityzens, having [gone on loan several times since 2015](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angelino/transfers/spieler/277179). The latest of those saw him [move to RB Leipzig in January](https://www.mancity.com/news/first-team/first-team-news/2020/january/transfer-deadline-day-loan-news), where he has made [eight appearances, scoring once and setting up two goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angelino/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/277179/verein/23826).

Pep Guardiola currently has [Benjamin Mendy and Oleksandr Zinchenko](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-city/kadernachposition/verein/281) as senior left-back options, while City have been linked with a possible move for Bayern Munich’s David Alaba (as per [90min.com](https://www.90min.com/posts/david-alaba-considered-as-exchange-option-as-part-of-leroy-sane-s-proposed-transfer-to-bayern-munich-01e84ga25ha4)) to potentially strengthen in that department.

However, these Manchester City fans want to see Angelino being given a fair chance to prove himself at the Etihad Stadium, with one supporter believing the club should “get rid of Mendy or Zinchenko” to make room for him:

> Negotiate? £19m is nothing in today’s market, come on! Specially since the fullback market is so inflated
>
> If you’re willing to ‘negotiate’ and go low, may as well keep him! He isn’t bad by any means, plus he’s HG [https://t.co/3rWHmACUf5](https://t.co/3rWHmACUf5)

***Man City fans, do you think Angelino should be given a proper chance at the Etihad or would you be in favour of selling him to RB Leipzig? Join in the discussion by commenting below!***
