Man City may lose key target if Arne Slot tries to appease Liverpool supporters.
The talented midfielder has been a crucial player for the Hammers, with notable stats of 13 goals and 14 assists in 81 appearances. Despite interest from the champions, the pursuit was called off due to an ongoing investigation. The 26-year-old, who has represented Brazil at the World Cup, is still sought after, particularly by Manchester City. There is a possibility that Liverpool may also be interested in the midfielder as part of a potential deal with Feyenoord.
The fans have shown their appreciation for his performances, indicating the potential for a positive reception at Anfield. Given his technical abilities, the player could thrive as part of the Liverpool team. However, with three years remaining on his West Ham contract, any potential transfer would require a significant fee. The outcome of the ongoing investigation could determine whether Liverpool and City will compete for the player’s signature in the upcoming summer transfer window.
In response to the speculation, the midfielder expressed his respect and happiness at West Ham, emphasizing his focus on performing well and ending the season positively. He clarified that previous rumors about Manchester City were related to the prior transfer window and expressed a commitment to finishing the season strongly.
