Rumour Reel: Alex Sandro to Man City, Man Utd move for David Alaba?

Coral’s rumour reel

It’s a tale of two clubs in the tabloids today, as attention turns to bitter top-flight rivals Manchester City and Manchester United’s long-term transfer plans. Alex Sandro to Man City is a whisper doing the rounds, while David Alaba is among rumoured Man Utd transfers.

Read on with Coral’s rumour reel to find out who else the Sky Blues and Red Devils may be targeting, and just what surprise fellow Northwest club Everton may have up their sleeve…

Alex Sandro to Man City?

Continuing to rebuild the Citizens’ backline in his image, Pep Guardiola is tipped to move for an attacking full back across the next two transfer windows.

The left defensive flank jumps out as the side of defence most in need of a refresh and Juventus’ Sandro has been singled out in the press as the man for the job.

Able to operate as a full back or wing back, the Brazil international would fit the bill as the versatile, tactically savvy and technically talented type of player Guardiola favours. But the Sky Blues may have to move fast for the full back as Samba Boys star Sandro reportedly has a £25.6m release clause but, should the 25-year-old ink a new deal with Italian giants Juve, Man City could see his price rise to as much as £40m.

David Alaba among future Man Utd transfers?

While, not so long ago Man City were also linked with Guardiola’s former Bayern Munich charge David Alaba – another flexible player deployed in many defensive positions.
