There are plenty of intriguing happenings in the top five leagues. Real Madrid priced Rodrygo at 100 million euros; fans cheer, the media applaud, but no club is bidding, making it a classic case of high value but no buyers. Meanwhile, Manchester City’s 20-year-old full-back Lewis is not favored by fans and is criticized by the press, yet four top clubs from the major leagues are vying for his signature.
According to the latest report from journalist Pablo Oliveira, several top teams from the big five leagues are interested in Manchester City’s 20-year-old English full-back Lewis. These include Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, Premier League Big Six side Tottenham, Serie A powerhouse Juventus, La Liga heavyweight Atletico Madrid, as well as Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, and Everton from the Premier League. This shows that despite the lack of support from fans and the media, Lewis is not short of potential suitors, with many strong clubs in the top leagues optimistic about this young English right-back.
In the opening round of the new Premier League season, Manchester City dominated Wolves 4-0 away, with Lewis starting as right-back and playing 66 minutes before being substituted, contributing one assist (to Haaland). With a fresh look this season after cutting his hair, Lewis appears lighter on his feet and plays with impressive simplicity and efficiency. At just 20 years old, he boasts excellent technical skills and immense potential. His market value is estimated at 40 million euros, and his contract with Manchester City runs until 2028. Last season, across all competitions (including the Club World Cup), he made 44 appearances, scored 2 goals, and provided 5 assists.
