Man City see £62m transfer bid plus bonuses for Chelsea target Jose Gimenez rejected by Atletico Madrid

MANCHESTER CITY had a £62million bid for Chelsea target Jose Gimenez rejected by Atletico Madrid, according to reports.

Pep Guardiola's side are still thought to be on the hunt for another new centre-back this summer.

Jose Gimenez was the subject of a £62m bid from Manchester City but Atletico Madrid rejected the offer Credit.

But according to La Gazzetta dello Sport reporter Alfredo Pedulla , their approach for Gimenez was snubbed.

It is thought City offered an initial £62m for the Uruguayan defender, 25, but with added bonuses.

However, Atleti are keen to keep their star defender who is the third captain behind Koke and Jan Oblak.

The Etihad club are hoping to bolster their defensive options despite already spending £40m on Nathan Ake with Eric Garcia set to quit next summer.

Kalidou Koulibaly remains a target - and would cost around the same as Gimenez - but negotiations with Napoli are proving difficult due to the clubs' strained relationship following the Jorginho saga in 2018.

Official: David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne have been named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

KDB has also become the PFA Player of the year winner.

Congratulations 🥳

🗣 Pep on KDB

“To win this award is an outstanding achievement, and Kevin is so deserving of it," the manager said.

“To be recognised by other players is the most that any footballer can ask for, because they understand not only what it is to compete against you, but also the level of commitment it takes to play at the very top.

“There have been many great players in this club’s history, especially over the last decade working with Roberto, Manuel and myself. We have won many titles, but Kevin is the first to receive this prestigious award. This recognition is also a tribute to all the fantastic players who have come before him.

“We are so proud of Kevin and this will only strengthen what he means to this club and our fans. From all the players, coaches and staff at Manchester City, I would like to congratulate him.”

Say congratulations to Kevin ☺️

🌟 Lauren Hemp has been named the PFA Young Player of the Year 2020.

Congratulations, Lauren Hemp!

Lauren Hemp: “It’s really nice – I’m really pleased. It’s nice that other people in teams are recognising me and thinking I’ve done well in games over the season, even when they’re concentrating on their own game.”

“It’s one of the best accolades you can get: recognition from other teams and players. I have to thank all of my coaches, especially Nick Cushing and Alan Mahon last season, and if It were not for my teammates, I would not be able to do what I do every week.”


“People keep telling me: ‘Keep doing what you’re doing.’ They’ve given me the confidence to be myself and play how I want to play, and enjoy myself. Credit to them.”

“I’m excited to see what the season can bring with the players and staff we have around us.”
