According to Soy Del millo, Manchester City are pursuing a move for Argentine talent Maher Carrizo from Velez Sarsfield. The right winger is open to leaving his current surroundings, although the Premier League side are open to loaning him to River Plate for a significant period before bringing him to England.
Manchester City have been busy in this transfer window to strengthen their first-team squad. Pep Guardiola wanted a strong team for the Club World Cup, as the club signed the likes of Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Tijjani Reijnders before their trip to the USA.
As they returned to England following their elimination from the competition, Guardiola might take another look at the transfer market for further additions. Manchester City are focused on strengthening the first team, but they are also alert to signing some raw talents for their developmental plans.
For instance, they are reportedly chasing Velez Sarsfield talent Maher Carrizo. The winger has been a tremendous performer for the Argentine side and has so far stayed coy on his impending future. The attacker has a €16 million release clause, which may not be a problem for the English giants.
Carrizo has a contract with Velez until 2026, and this might be the right window for him to depart the club. The €16 million-rated South American prospect also has interest from Argentine giants River Plate, with Manchester City reportedly open to letting them have Carrizo for a significant period on loan.
Manchester City are yet to make their move for the €16 million-rated South American prospect, although they are now open to sending him out on loan to River Plate. The report states, the Argentine giants could potentially have the winger for a season and a half on loan from Manchester City, as the report states, the English side may not have another empty slot for a foreigner or non-EU player at the moment.
Manchester City could have potentially sent him on loan to one of the teams within the same ownership group, such as Girona. However, they have good relations with River Plate following the recent signings of Julian Alvarez and Claudio Echeverri, with River Plate probably viewing the €16 million-rated South American prospect as a replacement for Real Madrid bound Franco Mastantuono.
