"Manchester City are accelerating a move for Vinicius Jr at the request of Pep Guardiola. The Catalonian coach has already been provided with over 450 million in transfer funs in the last 12 months, yet he finds himself trailing Arsenal by six points after 10 games in the Premier League. Guardiola has only broken the British transfer record once during his time at Manchester City, but that he may have to do it again should be serious about signing Vinicius Jr."
"The 2024/25 season was below par by Manchester City's standards. They finished third in the Premier League, were knocked out in the Champions League play-offs by Real Madrid, knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the fourth round by Tottenham and last the FA Cup final agains Crystal Palace, and Guardiola is looking to avoid a repeat of that. So far, it has been slightly underwhelming."
"Having Erling Haaland, who is ranked at no.3 in FourFourTwo's list of the greatest finishers in football history, already at his disposal is reportedly not enough for Guardiola, with GOAL via Defensa Central suggesting he has demanded the signing of Vinicius Jr. Ranked at no.3 in FourFourTwo's list of the best left wingers in the world right now, adding Vinicius Jr to the Manchester City team would be a frightening prospect."
Pep Guardiola has requested Manchester City accelerate a move for Vinicius Jr and may need to break the British transfer record to secure the signing. The club received over 450 million in transfer funds in the last 12 months but trails Arsenal by six points after ten Premier League games. Manchester City's 2024/25 season was below expectations, finishing third in the league, exiting the Champions League play-offs to Real Madrid, losing the FA Cup final to Crystal Palace, and suffering an early Carabao Cup exit. Erling Haaland remains at the club, but Guardiola seeks Vinicius to strengthen the attack; Vinicius scored decisive goals in recent Champions League finals.
