Asier Riesgo could reportedly join Premier League champions Manchester City, which could allow Aro Muric to join Nottingham Forest.
Asier Riesgo is mulling over the chance to join Manchester City on a free transfer, according to The Sun (21 June, page 56).
The Premier League champions are expected to splash the cash again this summer to reinforce Pep Guardiola’s already star-studded squad with top class talents like Rodri, Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt potentially on their way to the Etihad Stadium.
Few would have expected, however, that a 35-year-old free agent could become Manchester City’s first signing of the transfer window.
But The Sun claims that Riesgo has been offered the chance to make the biggest move of his career after 18 years in Spanish football – and he is considering whether or not to seize a once in a lifetime opportunity to play under Guardiola.
The veteran goalkeeper is a free agent after his four-year spell at Eibar came to an end and it is understood that he has been lined up to provide competition for Ederson and Claudio Bravo in Manchester.
And this could have ramifications at Nottingham Forest, too.
The Mail points out that Forest are keen to sign 20-year-old Aro Muric on loan and it seems unlikely that City will stand in his way of a potentially valuable temporary spell at the City Ground, especially if Riesgo arrives in his place.
