Ahead of the summer transfer season, Manchester City owners TARGET a midfield player from Liverpool.

Girona, the sister club of Manchester City, is getting ready to pursue a Liverpool player this summer in an effort to improve its roster before the start of the next campaign.

Ownered by City Football Group (CFG), Girona has had an incredible season, winning their second 4-2 match of the season over Barcelona in early May to qualify for the Champions League.

But given their relationship with Man City, they might not even be able to take part in Europe’s top league the following season.

In addition to the 115 allegations brought against Man City, the club and CFG have lately faced criticism for purported financial irregularities surrounding the transfer of star striker Artem Dovbyk.

Nevertheless, the Spanish team is keen to bolster its ranks following their spectacular season of success under Michel, and they may try to sign Thiago Alcantara, the leaving midfielder from Liverpool.

Thiago’s departure from Liverpool this summer was already revealed on Friday, and many fans had already accepted the news.

The 33-year-old has only played 10 minutes this season after missing nearly the whole it due to injury. This summer, he will leave the team along with Joel Matip, a number of staff members, and manager Jurgen Klopp.

A new rumor from Sport (via Sport Witness) claims that Girona is interested in Thiago and that the midfield player has even communicated with the team.

Girona is a desirable alternative for Thiago since it is said that he would love to return to Catalonia, where he played for Barcelona under Pep Guardiola.
