Man City Eye Nmecha as Alternative Midfield Target

Manchester City are reportedly considering a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha as a potential reinforcement for their midfield this summer, amid concerns that the price tag for Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson could reach around £100 million.

Reports suggest that Pep Guardiola is keen to แทงบอล strengthen the midfield area, with Anderson previously identified as a primary target. However, the Nottingham Forest star is also attracting interest from Manchester United, and the high valuation has prompted City to explore alternative options.

One name under consideration is Felix Nmecha of Borussia Dortmund. The German midfielder is believed to be available for significantly less than Anderson, potentially costing less than half of the reported £100 million fee, making him a more budget-friendly option for the club.

The “Cityzens” are expected to reshape their midfield ahead of next season, especially with the possibility that Bernardo Silva could leave the club once his contract expires this summer. As a result, Manchester City are preparing to bring in a new midfielder to fill the potential gap in the squad.

Rooney slams Salah for failing to track back, leaving Bradley exposed in 3–0 loss at Man City

Wayne Rooney delivered a blunt ufaplus assessment of Mohamed Salah after Liverpool’s 3–0 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, arguing the Egyptian did not work hard enough defensively and left young right-back Conor Bradley isolated.

Speaking to the BBC, Rooney acknowledged Salah’s primary role is to score and create, and called him “one of the Premier League’s best over the past six or seven years.” But he insisted big matches demand greater off-the-ball commitment: in heavyweight games, he said, the effort “has to be doubled,” especially when the team is out of possession.

Rooney highlighted how often Bradley was left to fend for himself on Liverpool’s right side. “You have to drop back and help your teammate,” he stressed, noting that Ryan Gravenberch repeatedly slid across to cover, which in turn opened gaps elsewhere. The upshot, Rooney argued, was a structural vulnerability: when forwards don’t press or block passing lanes, full-backs face overloads and the midfield shape is dragged out.

For Liverpool, the takeaway from the Etihad is clear: restore off-the-ball balance and positional discipline particularly from the wide forwards to protect the flanks and stabilize the overall defensive structure.
