Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, is reportedly interested in signing Pau Cubarsí from FC Barcelona. The club has reached out to Joan Laporta and is prepared to propose 70 million euros for the transfer. Pau Cubarsí has caught attention for his impressive performance following Araujo's injury, establishing himself as a crucial player in the defensive line under the guidance of Hansi Flick. This investment underscores Manchester City's goal to sustain its dominance in both the Premier League and European competitions.

Pau Cubarsí could have joined Manchester City in 2026 through the affiliation between Gérone and Manchester City. However, the player chose to stay with his current club, FC Barcelone.
