Manchester City's concern for Verona
Monday edition of game Azzedine looks at the possibility of Onahi leaving the Catalan club for the Citizens and what it could mean for the former.
City Football Group, the owner of Manchester City, is a co-owner of Verona. This, combined with the player's €20m release clause, would make it easy for the English club to sign him.
Savinho spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Verona from Troyes, another club owned by City Football Group. His performances for the La Liga team led to his purchase by Manchester City in July 2024.
The Brazilian winger was a key member of the Verona team under manager Michel, but moved to England.
Game Status: 'It seems that history is repeating itself at Montilivi: as it happened with Savinho, the great player of the Verona team is set to move to the Etihad Stadium this summer.'
Pep Guardiola's side want to 'repeat' the plan they used to sign Onahi for Savinho, except in the early stages.
After struggles at both Marseille and Panathinaikos, the latter resumed his career at Verona. Manchester City are now looking for him to be part of their project next season.
Over the years, Mitchell has seen key players depart at the end of each season. The report states: 'If the people at the Etihad see Unahi as the ideal replacement for Bernardo Silva, the room for maneuver for Verona will be minimal.'
Michel's contract runs until June and the Moroccan's potential sale to Manchester City could complicate his renewal.
