This is usually how it goes: what Pep Guardiola wants, he gets. Last January, Manchester City splashed out 75 million euros for Omar Marmoush, making it Eintracht Frankfurt’s second-biggest sale in history—only topped by the 95 million they received from Paris Saint-Germain for Randal Kolo Muani. The German club could soon see another major cash influx, thanks in large part to their scouting department.🚨🔵 Excl | Manchester City have entered the race for Hugo #Larsson! 20 y/o top midfielder is keen on their interest.

The Swedish midfielder quickly adapted, developed, and attracted the attention of numerous top European clubs. According to reliable Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, Manchester City has now joined the race for his signature. The Citizens seem to have developed a taste for shopping in Frankfurt. They could complete a second deal with Eintracht in just six months, as Hugo Larsson has been identified as a June transfer target. The English club is closely monitoring him, but he won’t come cheap.Honest Pep: “We don’t deserve millions of bonuses, not even a watch”While City won’t need to spend as much as they did for Omar Marmoush, the price isn’t much lower either. The Germans value the Swedish wonderkid at 60 million. However, given the number of interested clubs, they might even get more. Manchester City has already held initial talks with Eintracht’s sporting department, but that’s just the first step. And the competition is fierce—Manchester United and Tottenham have been in the race for Hugo Larsson for some time, with Spurs recently signing another Swedish talent, Lucas Bergvall. Liverpool and Arsenal are also keeping an eye on the situation.Frankfurt has another Marmoush ready for saleAC Milan is interested as well, though the Italian club is not in a financial position to compete with the English giants. However, Real Madrid certainly is. The Spanish giants have been tracking Larsson ever since Toni Kroos retired. The race for Hugo Larsson’s signature could become one of the most exciting transfer battles in the upcoming period. Once again, Eintracht Frankfurt could be cashing in big time.FA CUP – QUARTER-FINALSSaturday Fulham – Crystal Palace 0-3 (0-2)/Eze 34, Sarr 38, Nketiah 75/20.15: (1.85) Brighton (4.00) Nott.Forest (4.20)Sunday 15.30: (7.50) Preston (4.50) Aston Villa (1.43)18.30: (2.85) Bournemouth (3.90) Man.City (2.35)***odds are subject to change***
