The Italian media reported earlier this week on Manchester City’s interest in Partizan Belgrade teenager Matija Popovic.
Despite the fact that AC Milan are thought to be in advanced talks to sign him, it was suggested that they should ‘look out’ for competition from Pep Guardiola’s side, who might make a ‘formal offer’ soon.
CalcioMercato. it has provided an update on the situation, and it appears like Manchester City has a chance to win this race.
Despite Milan’s advanced moves to complete the signing, it is alleged that there is ‘hesitation’ at the club about occupying their only non-EU slot in the team.
That is why the Rossoneri should be worry about the other ‘clubs in the window,’ including Manchester City, as Popovic is ‘especially valued’ by the Sky Blues.
Popovic’s contract with Partizan expires at the conclusion of the season, despite his good numbers for the club’s youth ranks this season. As a free agent, he has the final say, and it appears that his decision will be heavily influenced by Milan’s actions in the following days.
