Pep Guardiola tight-lipped on Lucas Paqueta interest as Man City team news revealed

Here are your Manchester City evening headlines for Thursday, August 10.

Pep Guardiola refused to comment on Manchester City's interest in Lucas Paqueta.

City are still looking to reinforce their midfield options this summer after losing Ilkay Gundogan and West Ham star Paqueta is the latest to be considered for the role after the likes of Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice and Gabri Veiga were all looked at.

Mateo Kovacic was signed to bolster the ranks while City are growing increasingly confident of keeping hold of Bernardo Silva but are still mulling over how to replace Gundogan as well as Riyad Mahrez.

Paqueta only joined West Ham from Lyon last summer for a club record £51m and a much higher fee would be demanded. The Blues already know how difficult the Irons can be to negotiate with after their £95million bid for Declan Rice was rejected before they bagged £105m for the midfielder from Arsenal.
