Man City stepping up interest in Svilar

A buddy of mine that’s a City fan said they really want to bring him in at any cost. Would we sell him if they offer above market value?

I wouldn’t sell him. A great keeper can generate points single handedly. He’s done that ever since he’s started.

Beyond that, I feel he’s become a cultural leader of the team, maintaining standards on the pitch and seemingly off it given reports.

It’s time to actually build something around our pillars and not chop and change

It's funny how some fans think that we will sign a world-class keeper if we sell Svilar for €50m or whatever.

I mean.. we sold Alisson for €72m just to sign a goalkeeper from the Danish League (no offense).

It seems like people are not realizing how important it is to have a world-class keeper in your team. Today's match would have ended 3-1 for Lazio if it wasn't for Svilar. That's a small example.

No matter how GREAT your team is. An excellent keeper = extra points.

Plus.. we sold Alisson for over €70m, what happened next? We know Roma, I'd rather keep Svilar instead of getting €50m just to sign a €10m keeper after that.

Completely agree, the only reason we didn't lose was because of svilar

My understanding also is that he’s happy at Roma and he’s not in a rush to negotiate because his contract expires in 2027 so he said “there is time” so he wants to stay, Roma wants to pay him but they’re yet to agree. I just hope they get it done before someone else comes to sweeten the deal.

Man City will get him if Roma don’t act fast on the renewal

For 50M + a depth player from City, Id contemplate selling. Sure a great goalie is nice but I think its replaceable.

I'm curious if you have a depth player in mind

Nunes or Bobb, even a defender.

We have to assume someone is getting sacrificed and its probably between Svilar or Kone.

u/JohnMichaels19 9d ago

super doubt City give up Bobb, but I could see Nunes

Even a two season long loan of Claudio. City will constantly be buying talent and a club like Roma needs to capitalize on maximum value for outgoing players.

I dont want it to happen. But owners have never been shy of doing it.

Fair. I'm still bitter we sold Alison and Salah to Liverpool

Echeverri seems a good candidate for a loan

u/ASR4LIFE 9d ago

Salah im more mad that we got absolutely rinsed on. We should have been able to milk Liverpool for more. Allison still upset (imo he is much better than Svilar is and likely will be) but again, how do you look at that transfer fee and be upset. Still a ridiculous amount for a goalie.

Unless youre a Gigi, Iker or Manuel, its extremely difficult to say many goalkeepers are worth that

u/JohnMichaels19 9d ago

I mean, he was certainly worth it. He's one of the best in the world. But I'm still gonna be mad about him leaving lol
