Manchester City are battling to keep hold of teenage sensation Xavier Parker, with TEAMtalk understanding that virtually every major club in Europe is attempting to prise the highly-rated midfielder away from the Etihad, including Manchester United and Arsenal.
Our sources can confirm Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have all made approaches as they attempt to tempt Parker back to London after his move from West Ham United’s academy to City in 2024.
The race is not confined to England. Indeed, we can confirm that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have all held discussions with Parker’s camp as Bundesliga clubs continue their long-standing policy of targeting Europe’s best young talent.
Real Madrid are also fully aware of the midfielder’s situation and have checked on his availability, although they are currently monitoring developments rather than actively pushing for a deal.
