Guardiola wants to steal a signing from Barcelona

Pep Guardiola seeks to get ahead of FC Barcelona in the race for Lucas Chevalier. Manchester City has set its sights on the Lille goalkeeper as a possible successor to Ederson, whose future at the English club is uncertain. While the Catalans have also shown interest in the French goalkeeper, the Manchester side could disrupt with an attractive offer in the upcoming transfer market.

City is preparing for a summer of changes, and one of its priorities will be to strengthen the goalkeeping position. Although Stefan Ortega has delivered when called upon, Guardiola wants to ensure a quality transition in case Ederson departs, as he does not rule out a new destination, possibly in Arab football.

Manchester City Wants to Sign Ederson's Replacement

Chevalier, 23, has established himself at Lille after his time at Valenciennes. His consistency and ability to perform under pressure have drawn the attention of several European teams, making him an ideal candidate to bolster a top-tier squad. His contract with the French club runs until 2027, but a convincing offer could alter his course.

Barcelona, on the other hand, is closely monitoring his progress as a long-term option for the goalkeeping position. However, the club's financial situation could hinder any immediate moves, paving the way for Manchester City to take the lead in the negotiation.

Guardiola's interest in Chevalier reflects his intention to renew key components within the team. With the transfer market on the horizon, the battle between the English and Catalan sides for the French goalkeeper could become one of the summer's main talking points.
