Manchester City got back to winning ways on the weekend when they defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad.
After the defeat in the Manchester derby, it seemed the Citizens’ title hopes could be derailed. However, Manchester United defeated Arsenal at the Emirates last weekend.
As a result, the Citizens are now just four points behind the Gunners. So, the title hopes for Pep Guardiola’s men are still on.
Now, Manchester City have made two excellent signings in January. First, they signed Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth.
After that, they moved swiftly to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace to address their defensive woes. Now, they are switching their focus to the summer transfer window.
One position they have not filled yet is the right-back. After letting Kyle Walker leave for Burnley, they have failed to replace him.
They have used Matheus Nunes and Rico Lewis in the position this season. However, they have failed to replicate the impact Walker had on the pitch.
That is why they are now looking at Real Madrid to fill that void. According to TEAMtalk, Manchester City are closely monitoring the situation of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The English right-back left Liverpool last summer. However, his time at Madrid has been a nightmare. He has failed to impress the Los Blancos so far.
That is why he could leave the club next summer. So, if such a situation arises, the Citizens want to capitalise on that opportunity to find the best possible replacement for Kyle Walker.
