4 Midfielders that Manchester City should target before the transfer window closes

Manchester City v Chelsea - FA Community Shield
Manchester City want one more player before the transfer window ends

#1 Julian Weigl (Borussia Dortmund)

Borussia Dortmund v Tottenham Hotspur - UEFA Champions League
Weigl is an upcoming German star

Julian Weigl is a 22-year old German International who has impressed one and all since moving to Dortmund in 2015. Along with the likes of Christian Pulisic and Mahmoud Dahoud, Weigl is likely to become a global star in the next few years.

Many have hailed him as the future of the German midfield as he is often compared with Real Madrid star Toni Kroos due to his tidy passing game. The former 1860 Munich youngster plays in a defensive role for the Yellow submarines as he likes to dictate the tempo and make crucial tackles when his team are counter-attacked.

Still, only 22, his style of play perfectly suits Pep Guardiola's team and Manchester City's need for a player like him perfectly suit each other. Thus it is no wonder that Manchester City are interested in bringing him to the Etihad.

Dortmund, over the years, have been prone to selling their players to English clubs and considering Manchester City's spending power they could easily lure the youngster to Manchester.
