Manchester City Ready to Redeem Mikel Oyarzabal Purchase Clause

DBasia.news –  Manchester City have just recruited Rodri and Angelino in the transfer market this summer. Do not stop there, The Citizens reportedly will recruit Mikel Oyarzabal.

The emergence of City’s interest in the 22-year-old player stems from the desire of Bayern Munich to recruit Leroy Sane. Oyarzabal is considered the Man City talent guide as an ideal replacement for Sane.

Apart from being young, Oyarzabal also experienced playing at the competitive level of Europe’s top leagues (LaLiga) and some time ago European Under-21 champions with Spain Under-21 national team. Another plus for Oyarzabal: the position of the wing striker.

The original Basque player was a product of the Sociedad academy which was promoted to the first team in 2015 and played more than 100 matches with La Real. Sociedad fans really idolized him because he was a local talent and shined in the first team.

The factor of Pep Guardiola, the Spanish coach, can tempt Oyarzabal to try to return at a club that has twice won the Premier League championship. Oyarzabal has a 75 million euro purchase clause and City is interested in activating it.

Oyarzabal will also experience a significant salary increase at City – if he receives their proposal. City approached Oyarzabal’s transfer as well as when they successfully recruited Aymeric Laporte and Rodri from Athletic Club Bilbao and Atletico Madrid.

Rodri redeemed 70 million euros. Man City did not bother to negotiate and immediately paid for the purchase clause. The same thing now they try to apply to Mikel Oyarzabal. 

Mikel Oyarzabal’s Chance to Manchester City: 50%

The arrival or absence of Oyarzabal will depend on the future fate of Sane. If Bayern can melt City, then Sane sold City, then the chance Oyarzabal to the Etihad Stadium is quite large. The club can’t do anything if there is a club that activates the purchase clause.
