Then my guess is Alvarez. Ekitike hasn't played enough games for the spreadsheet squad to push for him

Most of the media seem to say Gyokeres is their top target though. I hope they're right (a) because I'm not convinced Gyokeres is absolute top quality and (b) because Sesko or Alvarez would be my choice depending on what job Slot wants his no.9 to do. Isak's a fine player too obv.but his injury record would worry me a bit. Haven't seen enough of Ekitike to judge beyond a few clips, and we all know how unreliable those can be.
So who else? Mbuemo?
I've been telling all and sundry for 2 seasons that City are in decline. Losing world class players and replacing them with mediocrity. Rodri alone is not going to bring them back into contention.

Liverpool have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Florian Wirtz should the Germany international decide to leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
The Anfield club has been vying with Bayern Munich for the 22-year-old starlet, but there is growing pessimism in Bavaria regarding their hopes of landing the player.
That will come as a huge boost to Liverpool in the event of Wirtz choosing to leave Leverkusen and accept a new challenge in the Premier League.
Sources in Germany have indicated that the attacking midfielder, who can play in a number of advanced roles, has been impressed by Liverpool’s ambitious plans under Arne Slot to build on this season’s Premier League title success.
A deal will remain complex due to Bayer Leverkusen’s £126million [€150million] asking price, but there is a feeling that they will accept a lower base figure and that a chunk of any fee can be paid in add-ons as is normally the case.
Liverpool are already in touch with Leverkusen regarding the £30million signing of Jeremie Frimpong, who has already passed a medical at Anfield. His arrival will be confirmed after the transfer window opens.
Intriguingly, Wirtz is close friends with Frimpong. They have sat beside each other in the dressing room and Frimpong, 24, used to give Wirtz lifts into training before he could drive and that link up would make a move less daunting for the talented youngster.
Leverkusen have wanted Wirtz to sign a new deal with a lower release clause that would come into effect after the World Cup in 2026, but the strong interest in the player has complicated their hopes.
They are also loath to sell to a rival in Bayern, who succeeded Leverkusen as Bundesliga champions this season.
Wirtz has operated from the left in a 3-4-3 system this season under coach Xabi Alonso, who has left Leverkusen to take charge of Real Madrid. He can also play off the right, as a false nine and as a No10 and the two-footed Wirtz would give Slot the versatility and technical ability that he craves.
Liverpool have said they have not made a formal approach over Wirtz, and denied they held a meeting with the player in the north west earlier this month.
However, they will hope to make a statement signing and recruit Wirtz who had also attracted attention from Manchester City.
So we're playing without a striker?

Make it 7 or more fucking years
& cats
poor Foden…
I think it’s Ekitike. In the report linking him to Chelsea it was stated that they believe he’ll end up at Liverpool.
The injuries is a big part in me thinking Isak isn’t the one to go for in the end.
What an intro that would be for the lad!
Joyce haven’t written these many words in years.

I wonder if Jürgen Klopp's success here planted the seed of an idea in the back of Wirtz' mind....
He can stay in Zidane's place until he finds his own.
Inevitable...hahaha
Ok everyone, I do not like this at all, superstars or those we know are absolute world class gems have never to come to us since Torres. So we have to really check this out properly regarding this fella:
1) is he mentally stable
2) does he have daddy issues
3) above all, why the fuck does he want to join us ?
I say during the medical we do water boarding on him to find these answers, I mean this will be the first time in over a decade a so called world class player will join us. This is not the normal acceptance we are used to, so totally understand if some of you are in shock.
