Manchester City have reportedly stepped up their interest in PSG wonderkid Warren Zaire-Emery.

The 18-year-old has already made waves in Ligue 1 and the French national team, cementing himself as one of Europe’s most promising talents. PSG are understandably reluctant to let go of their prized asset, having tied him to a long-term deal until 2029, but City’s rumoured €120 million offer could pose a significant challenge.

Zaire-Emery’s versatility and technical prowess make him an ideal fit for Guardiola’s system. With Rodri sidelined due to injury, the Premier League champions are keen to bolster their midfield depth as they aim to maintain dominance domestically and in Europe. While PSG value him as integral to their present and future plans, the allure of playing under Guardiola in a more competitive league could sway the teenager’s decision.

A January move seems unlikely given PSG’s firm stance, but the summer could present a different scenario. If City can sell the vision of their project, they may have a strong chance of landing Zaire-Emery. For now, all eyes will be on whether PSG can fend off interest or if the pull of Manchester proves too enticing.
