Manchester City's performance has suffered a serious downturn this year, largely due to the prolonged absence of core player Lodikas Jandi, and rumors are rife that the midfield has lost that key node in the team's lifeblood. With the transfer window approaching next month, the 'Blue Moon' are now rumored to be interested in former Manchester United midfielder Paul Puba, after signing stalwarts Goumares and Subiwendi.

Manchester City are facing heavy challenges in their bid to land Newcastle midfielder Nugu Mares and Real Sociedad midfielder Subiwendi, so they have begun to set their sights on free agent Paul Puba and have been conducting an in-depth investigation into his latest developments, according to The Independent in the UK.

In fact, captain Gordiona has publicly stated that he is a big fan of Puba and has nothing but praise for the 31-year-old French international. Puba is ready to join any team after his contract with Juventus ends. He is eager to take this great opportunity to make a move. Puba recently posted a series of emojis on social media which seemed to hint at an impending move, sparking speculation of a partnership with Manchester City.

During his time at Manchester United, Paul Puba contributed 39 goals and 48 assists in 233 games. The general opinion is that if he gives his full attention to the game, he will surely become a top player and has the ability to bring a qualitative leap for Manchester City. However, Puba has been suspended due to a drug ban and will not return until March next year. Even if City succeed in signing him, it will be difficult for them to make up for their current woes immediately.
