Manchester City renewed Oleksander Zinchenko until 2024, but his future may not lie at the Etihad… or with a Barca team that took an interest in him months ago. According to the ‘Daily Star’, Wolves will bid for the Ukrainian player in January.
Oleksander Zinchenko has always been under the magnifying glass at Manchester City. He was convincing at times as a winger and in the centre of the field. He aroused some interest from FC Barcelona in the summer.
The Catalan media considered him the “favourite” for the left-back position, although the economy did not allow him to move. To this was added the fact that Zinchenko had renewed until 2024 with Manchester City.
In the meantime, some are trying to take him away from City and from Barca in January. We are talking about Wolverhampton Wanderers, who according to the ‘Daily Star’ are very interested in signing the left-back.
His departure seemed difficult in the summer, even more so with the casualties of City and that no left-back arrived as Guardiola had requested. In fact, Wolves asked for him, but their offer of about 20 million was rejected by the ‘sky blues’.
As it happens, his game time has plummeted. Mendy has been playing practically everything and Zinchenko barely adds up to 282 minutes in five games, only one in the league. Therefore, Nuno’s team sees a good opportunity to get him out of the Etihad Stadium.
