Transfer interest is building around Wesley Franca, with Manchester City understood to be weighing-up a move for the Roma defender. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. Manchester City remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Tottenham and Newcastle continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Manchester City 's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.9 goals per game (19 in 21). Wesley Franca would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Roma have also been linked with Jayden Oosterwolde, Mohamed Salah and Morten Frendrup while Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Michael Olabode Kayode, Max Alleyne and Adam Wharton.
