It has been reported that Borussia Dortmund are interested in wrapping up a transfer for Manchester City talent Carlos Borges.
This comes from the Daily Mail, after the 19-year-old was linked with a move to West Ham United three months ago.
But now, one of Europe’s biggest clubs in Borussia Dortmund aim to prise Carlos Borges away from Manchester City.
Borussia Dortmund aiming to complete Carlos Borges transfer from Manchester City
Branded as ‘stunning’ by Football Express, the electric winger is one of the Sky Blues’ most talented young prospects.
With an impressive 21 goals and 10 assists in 24 games for the club’s U-21 side, the Portuguese wideman deservedly won the Premier League 2 Player of the Season Award as his side retained their league title.
However, Borussia Dortmund now pose a threat to Manchester City, as it has been claimed that they are ‘keen’ to sign Carlos Borges.
The German giants tend to have an eye for the treble-winners’ best young talents, from Jadon Sancho and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to yet another exciting wide forward in the teenager’s case.
Manchester City should insert a buy-back clause if they plan to sell Borges
It seems like the pathway to the first-team will not be an easy one for Carlos Borges, which is why one could imagine Manchester City potentially offloading him to Borussia Dortmund.
Pep Guardiola is seemingly intent on playing wingers that are the polar opposite of the highly-rated gem’s profile, with their role being focused on retaining possession and allowing the team to control games.
With Borges being a classic winger, who uses his trickery to beat defenders and pace to run behind defences, it would not come as a surprise if City have already decided to let him go.
However, with how gifted Carlos Borges is, the English juggernaut could regret not inserting a buy-back clause in any potential sale involving him.
After Guardiola’s departure, City’s next manager could well prioritise a wide forward like Borges, which is why it is better to be safe than sorry and consider the bigger picture in the event of bidding him farewell for now.
