Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola is reportedly eyeing Dortmund left-back Raphael Guerreiro as a potential replacement for Joao Cancelo.

The Portuguese star’s contract with Dortmund is set to expire on June 30, and he is being sought after by several clubs, including Bayern Munich. However, Guardiola is said to be keen on bringing Guerreiro to the Etihad due to his versatility and ability to play in midfield as well as defense.

Cancelo, who is currently on loan at Bayern, is not expected to have a future at Man City due to his non-standard attitude.

The club is reportedly looking to push the Portuguese international out to make room for a more suitable replacement. Guerreiro, who has played three times in central midfield for Dortmund this season, has scored or assisted in every match.

At 29 years old, Guerreiro has plenty of experience at the top level and would be a valuable addition to Guardiola’s squad.

The coach is known for his preference for versatile players who can play in multiple positions, and Guerreiro’s ability to play in midfield, as well as defence, would make him a valuable asset.

Man City is not the only club interested in Guerreiro, with Bayern Munich also reportedly monitoring the situation. However, Guardiola’s interest in the player could give Man City the edge in any potential transfer negotiations.

If Guerreiro does make the move to the Etihad, it could pave the way for Sergio Gomez to join Burnley.

The 20-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League club, and Guerreiro’s departure would free up space in the squad for him to make the move.

Overall, it remains to be seen whether Guerreiro will make the move to Man City or another club this summer.

However, his versatility and experience make him an attractive prospect for any top-level team, and Guardiola’s interest in the player suggests that he could be a valuable addition to the Man City squad.
