Manchester City are keeping a close eye on the Paris Saint-Germain ace

In a recent report, journalist Steve Kay mentioned that Manchester City are keeping a close eye on Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Bakla. It has been revealed that Guardiola admires the France international and could join him this summer.

Bakola’s outstanding performance in Ligue 1 last season

The 21-year-old has enjoyed a promising season at the French club recently, producing a series of impressive performances from the left flank. Bakla played 42 games for Paris Saint-Germain last season, scoring 5 goals and providing 9 assists in all competitions.

The talented player born in Lyon averaged 1.2 shots, 1.2 key passes and 1.8 dribbles per game in Ligue 1, and performed steadily in the frontcourt. It’s also accurate when reaching the opponent’s half.

His current contract at the French club expires in the summer of 2028, which may make it difficult for City to complete his deal on the cheap this month.

Should Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola acquire Bakola this summer?

Bakola can carry the ball out wide for a few breakthroughs. He can shoot well from distance and has the ability to create some meaningful open looks for his teammates on the offensive end.

The French genius performed well in last season’s competition, contributing a number of goals and assists. However, it remains to be seen whether he can adapt to the physicality and intensity of the Premier League if City manage to land him this summer.

Bakola will add more firepower to Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola’s attacking department. He’s good enough to serve as a decent replacement for Julian Alvarez at the Etihad Stadium.

The 21-year-old Bakla has the potential to become a future star in European football. Therefore, he would be a great signing for the Manchester giants in the long run. All things considered, Guardiola should focus on snagging Bakola before the end of the transfer window.
