The latest transfer rumour has Manchester City reportedly set their sights on signing Barcelona midfielder, Marc-André ter Stegen. The club is said to be keen on the German international as they look to strengthen their defensive line ahead of the upcoming season.

Ter Stegen is one of the most talented midfielders in the world and has been a key figure for Barcelona this season. He has made a number of key contributions to their success, including scoring two goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League last season.

However, there have been reports that Manchester City may not be willing to part with any of their prized assets if they receive a bid for Ter Stegen. They have already shown interest in other players such as Benjamin Mendy and John Stones, but it remains to be seen whether they will be able to secure the services of Ter Stegen.

In addition to Ter Stegen, Manchester City have also been linked with signing fellow Germany international, Robert Lewandowski. The German striker has been in excellent form this season and is thought to be worth a lot more than the £55 million fee he paid for Ter Stegen last summer.

If Manchester City do manage to sign Ter Stegen, it would be another boost to their attacking line. With Ter Stegen at the heart of their defence, they should be able to provide more firepower up front and create more opportunities for their attacking play.

However, it's important to note that Manchester City are still looking to improve their squad before the start of the new campaign. They may need to make some significant changes to their defensive setup in order to compete at the top level of football.
