A Manchester City flop has been tipped to replace an Arsenal star this summer with Fabrizio Romano confirming that negotiations have taken place.
Pep Guardiola and Man City generally get things spot on when it comes to the transfer window, although there are some notable exceptions to this rule.
One of those players is Sergio Gomez who has struggled to make an impact at the Etihad since his arrival from Anderlecht in 2022.
Guardiola’s side paid an initial £11m to sign the Spanish full-back, but he’s only started in two Premier League matches since arriving from Belgium.
Across all competitions last season, Gomez only played 445 minutes of football and struggled to dislodge the likes of Nathan Ake and Josko Gvardiol from the starting XI.
Given his lack of first team opportunities since arriving, it’s not much of a surprise that he’s now being linked with the exit door.
Real Sociedad are said to be keen on the Man City star as they look to replace Kieran Tierney, who was on loan from Arsenal last season.
“Real Sociedad open talks to sign left back Sergio Gomez from Man City, initial negotiations taking place,” Romano confirmed.
“Gomez, expected to leave Man City this summer and Real Sociedad are looking for Kieran Tierney replacement. Tierney returns to Arsenal and Real like Gomez.”
