MANCHESTER CITY will move for AC Milan’s super keeper Mike Maignan if Ederson leaves. City chief Pep Guardiola’s transfer team are covering themselves in case the Saudi Arabian cash comes for their Brazilian No .1. And Maignan, 28, is their top target to fill that potential king-sized hole in their side for next season and beyond.

The Colombian striker’s agent says the Blues hold a long-term interest and hopes Villa are “ready” to negotiate. Duran, 20, has ‘liked’ a number of Chelsea-related posts on X since the Blues tried to sign him on loan in January.

GABBY AGBONLAHOR seems to be loving Manchester United’s miserable decline as much as Aston Villa’s astonishing rise. The former England striker is envious of his old club’s current stars, who he believes boss Unai Emery has transformed into the best Villa team of his lifetime.
