Today, the two teams meet in a crucial Premier League fixture at the Etihad Stadium that has the potential to be season-defining for both teams. Outside of that, a new report from Italy has emerged that City and Arsenal are potentially set to battle it out this summer to sign Atalanta right-back Marco Palestra.
Palestra has shone on loan for Cagliari this season, and his impressive form and overall game have seemingly caught City’s and Arsenal’s attention. Manchester City and Arsenal are reportedly both reportedly interested in a summer move for Marco Palestra. Carlo Laudisa has reported for Gazetta that Manchester City and Arsenal have both been impressed by the performances of Marco Palestra for Cagliari this season.
It is reported by Laudisa that Italian clubs such as AC Milan, Juventus, and Inter Milan are also interested in signing Palestra. However, it is further reported that the Serie A giants cannot compete with the financial muscle of Manchester City and Arsenal. It now remains to be seen if City or Arsenal pursue a summer move for a player that Carlo Laudisa reports Atalanta do not want to sell.
If City want to sign a young right-back Marco Palestra does fit that profile. Marco Palestra is the latest right-back to be named as a potential transfer target for Manchester City. The young right-back has impressed for Cagliari this season.
In 32 appearances for Cagliari , Palestra has scored one goal and provided four assists. However, those numbers barely scratch the surface of why Palestra has caught Manchester City’s, and Arsenal’s eye. Playing at right-back for Cagliari, Palestra has shone in possession.
