MANCHESTER CITY have reportedly been told to meet Saul Niguez’s £130million release clause if they want to sign him this summer.
Spanish newspaper AS claims Pep Guardiola is keen on bringing the playmaker to England.
Saul is a key player for Diego Simeone’s Atletico side.
And he has become a regular start in the Spanish national team too.
Saul has long been linked with Manchester United.
But it’s City who now lead the race for his signature.
However, Guardiola will have to pay big if he wants Saul to end up at the Etihad and bolster his already formidable attacking line.
It’s claimed Atletico Madrid have no intention of selling the ace.
And if City want to land him, they are going to have meet his £130m release clause in full.
It could prove to be a savvy investment though, with Saul just 24-years-old and well capable of replacing veteran anchorman Fernandinho.
