Manchester City's players are not underestimating the importance of their late win at Sheffield United when it comes to the bigger picture of defending their Premier League title.
Man City explore move for Lucas Paqueta after transfer boost
09.08.2023 - 09:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City are more confident that they will keep Bernardo Silva this season but are still pursuing another midfield signing.
West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta is the latest to be considered for a role that Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, Gabri Veiga and others have been considered for as Pep Guardiola looks to reinforce his squad for the new season. Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez have both left the Etihad to leave the Blues mulling over how to replace them.
Paqueta only joined West Ham from Lyon last summer for a club record £51m and the East London club - who have already banked £105m for Rice from Arsenal in this window - would want significantly more than that. Guardiola spoke last week of how an extra £10m-15m was placed on the value of players when City enquired about them.
City have already signed Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea for £30m this summer to take on some of the role that Gundogan had, while the growing feeling that Silva will stay is another boost given his openness to a new challenge. As well as Kevin De Bruyne in the same position, it had also been expected that Phil Foden would occupy a more central role this season - as he has done in pre-season including the Community Shield where he came on and changed the game.

That has not stopped City from considering their options as they plot their Treble defence and Paqueta has been identified as a player that could help. The Blues have just over three weeks left in the transfer window to complete any moves.
