In the summer of 2025, Manchester City have shown their ambition in the transfer market after sealing deals for Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders.
Ruben Amorim claimed Hugo Viana is a winner and that certainly seems to be the case as he has struck an excellent partnership with Txiki Begiristain during his start to life as City’s sporting director.
After a tumultuous previous season where the Sky Blues fell from grace, Pep Guardiola would have been hoping that the decision-makers at the Etihad Stadium approve of a statement summer window.
Rayan Cherki has praised Manchester City’s project as it looks like they are doing everything in their power to become top dogs again.
Man City close to signing Sverre Nypan
Now, David Ornstein has revealed that Manchester City are close to reach an agreement to sign Rosenborg wonderkid Sverre Nypan.
Ornstein believes that Nypan’s move to the Etihad Stadium is set to be a record-breaking move for a player from the Norwegian league.
Currently, City are working on striking an agreement on personal with the youngster, who GiveMeSport revealed Martin Odegaard tried to lure to Arsenal.
However, despite the Gunners, Girona and Aston Villa’s interest in signing Nypan in January, Manchester City have stolen a march on both clubs as the highly-rated teenager looks set to sign for them.
The Athletic have reported that in the following campaign, the 18-year-old, who is a number eight by trade is expected to go out on loan to develop his game.
What Arsenal and Aston Villa did to seal Sverre Nypan deal
The report mentions that Arsenal hosted Nypan to convince him to sign for them but their efforts were ultimately rendered futile.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa jetted off to Norway to persuade the teenager to play his football at Villa Park.
However, Manchester City look like they have won the race to sign Nypan, who looks like a star in the making.
