Minimum 60 million! Manchester City targets the 22-year-old German international. He is Guardiola’s favorite defensive midfielder

On October 16, according to the German media "Bild", Manchester City has set its sights on introducing a new left back. The target is Frankfurt's Brown. This player is considered to be very suitable for Pep Guardiola's tactical system. , at the same time, this "speedy" player also received attention from Real Madrid and Arsenal.

Man City has scored 10 points in the past 4 games, and after defeating Brentford 1-0 away from home before the international break, they are currently only 3 points behind Premier League leader Arsenal. However, Gary Neville remains skeptical of Manchester City's start to the season, describing them as "disorganized" and "unpredictable" and pointing out that it is much easier to threaten the City defense now than in the past.

In the current Manchester City defense, the full-back position is the weakest. Among them, Guardiola used Husanov as an away right back and his performance was acceptable. At the left back position, after Aite Nouri was injured, Guardiola used Nico O'Reilly as a guest star. In the 2-2 draw against Monaco in the Champions League, Nico O'Reilly provided an assist and his performance was impressive. Guardiola was satisfied with his performance. However, according to "Bild", Manchester City has set its sights on bringing in a new left-back, targeting Frankfurt's Brown.

The 22-year-old Brown is considered to be very suitable for Guardiola's tactical system, because the Manchester City coach often uses full-backs as midfield auxiliaries (ie, midfielders) or wing propellers, and the Frankfurt defender is just qualified for these roles. Guardiola hopes to introduce Brown to strengthen the team's defense, but the cost of this transaction may be high, and Frankfurt is only willing to let him go for an offer of 60 million euros.

Similar to O'Reilly, the 22-year-old Brown can also create a threat on the offensive end. He contributed 3 goals and 7 assists in the Bundesliga last season. He has contributed 1 goal and 2 assists in 8 games this season. He is also solid on the defensive end. In fact, the Frankfurt star excels in steals, averaging 2.17 steals per game. During the international match in October, Brown made his debut for the German national team in the World Cup preliminaries against Luxembourg.

As a rising star in the Bundesliga, Brown's midfielder playing style is an extra bonus for Guardiola. Coupled with his outstanding speed on the wing, Manchester City should undoubtedly strive to complete this deal.
