5 quality players that Manchester City are looking to sign

#5 Philipp Max (Augsburg)

An under-the-radar star of the Bundesliga, Max could be a cut-price bargain

An alternative option would be for the club to bring in the Bundesliga’s current leader in assists. It has been a good route in the past, given they brought in Kevin De Bruyne in after a spectacular year in Germany, so why not bring in Philipp Max?

A relative unknown to English audiences, the Augsburg man has nine assists so far for one of the more surprising teams in the Bundesliga. The 24-year-old whips in a mean ball from wide positions and the club's forwards; Alfred Finnbogason and Michael Gregoritsch have feasted upon them

Now imagine that service with Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus on the end instead.

Max has been a solid left-back for the Bavarians for a while and has even been linked with a move to the giants of Deutschland in Bayern Munich, so this isn’t a one-season wonder to worry about.

A perfect compliment to their current style and a player potentially more willing to be a rotation option when necessary, he could add more depth to an already strong squad now and for the future.
