Premier League Giants Target Rising Star from Rival ClubPremier League Giants Target Rising Star from Rival Club Premier League powerhouse Manchester City is reportedly eyeing a move for promising youngster Ethan Ampadu from cross-town rival Manchester United. According to sources close to the situation, City is preparing a significant offer for the highly-rated Welsh international. Ampadu, 20, has impressed during his time at United, despite limited playing opportunities. A versatile defender who can play both as a center-back and a defensive midfielder, he has shown immense potential and garnered praise for his composure and technical ability. Sources indicate that City are desperate to bolster their defense following injuries to key players this season. Pep Guardiola is believed to be an admirer of Ampadu’s versatility and his ability to fit into the team’s possession-based style of play. If City’s interest materializes into a concrete offer, Ampadu would face a difficult decision. While United have a rich history and a loyal fan base, City offer him the chance to compete for major trophies and play alongside some of the world’s best players. The potential transfer would be a major blow to United, who have been working to develop Ampadu into a key player in recent years. However, with his contract expiring in 2023, the Red Devils may be forced to cash in on the defender if they cannot reach an agreement on an extension. Manchester City’s interest in Ampadu underscores the fierce rivalry between the two Manchester clubs. Both teams are vying for the Premier League title this season, and the addition of a promising young player like Ampadu could have a significant impact on the outcome.
