Man City: Pep offers former star defender to La Liga duo

Man City: Pep offers former star defender to La Liga duo

Manchester City are looking for potential suitors who could be willing to sign their departing defender Eliaquim Mangala. The Frenchman had been previously linked with a move to AC Milan but with the rossoneri who have completed the signing of Leonardo Bonucci, Mangala is not a target of the Serie A giants anymore.

Mangala spent the 2016/17 campaign on loan at Valencia and according to Marca, he could soon make return to La Liga.

According to the Spanish paper, Pep Guardiola has offered Mangala to Malaga adding that Sevilla have also been informed about the player’s availability.

Marca confirms AC Milan had previously been contacted to discuss a potential move of the former Porto star who, however, is not likely to land in Italy anymore.

Mangala joined Manchester City for € 30 million in summer 2014. Pep Guardiola has no long term plans for him and hopes Mangala’s 33 appearances with Valencia last season would attract the interest of other Spanish clubs.
