In the last 48 hours: Executives at Manchester City promise Pep that they will try to sign a “difference-maker” in January.
Manchester City has promised Pep Guardiola that they will try to sign AC Milan talisman Rafael Leao after the manager agreed to stay at the Etihad for another two years.
Leao was the Rossoneri’s top scorer last season with 11 goals in Serie A, and he’s back this season with six goals and four assists from 14 appearances.

The Portugal international, hailed by Jacek Kulig as a ‘difference-maker’, has also made an impact in Qatar, scoring in a 3-2 win over Ghana on Thursday. He has become a genuine talisman, and it looks as if a move to the Etihad could be on the cards.

According to one Spanish outlet, Guardiola has been promised by the club that they will look to sign Leao in 2023 before the manager signed a new two-year deal at the Etihad.

The same piece reiterates that Leao’s contract expires in 2024, with a host of clubs said to be in for him at the end of the season.

The lure of Leao may have been used as a persuasive factor in City’s bid to tie Guardiola down to a new deal, so the club will need to stick to its word.
And with how well the club is run, you would feel as though Sheikh Mansour and co will keep to their promise. As mentioned above, next summer could be the most likely time that the star may make the switch to Manchester, so this could be one to watch closely heading into 2023.
