Pep Guardiola is confident that Jack Grealish will enjoy a better second season with Manchester City than his first.
Man City 'favourites' to sign Villarreal defender Pau Torres and more transfer rumours
22.07.2022 - 22:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City are reported to be the favourites to sign Villarreal centre-back Pau Torres.
According to Sports Illustrated (as per Villarreal based journalist Xavi Jorquera Marquez), Pep Guardiola's side are now the front-runners to sign the in-demand 25-year-old centre-back. Torres has impressed with his recent performances both in La Liga and also in Europe, helping his side to the Champions League semi-final last season.
The Spaniard might not be able to help with City's need for a new left-back, but being a left-footed defender has made him a wanted man this transfer window. Guardiola favours having a balance of left and right-footed defenders in his team, and has stated the importance of Laporte's presence in his side for that very reason.

Elsewhere, City are reported to be readying a new bid for Brighton full-back Marc Cucurella after their initial bid of £30m was rejected.
According to the Daily Mail, the club are set to make an improved offer for the Brighton left-back and have not given up hope of signing the 23-year-old. Guardiola has admitted that his side are trying to sign a new full-back but despite the club's financial prowess, they will not pay £50m simply to get the deal done.
The south coast club signed Cucurella for just £15m from Getafe last summer and the Spaniard made an impressive start to life in the Premier League. Since the departure of Zinchenko, Joao Cancelo currently stands as the only recognised senior-left back at the Etihad. Despite Nathan Ake's ability to play on the left-side of defence, a natural left-back is clearly high on City's list of priorities before the transfer window closes
