Benfica striker changes agent as he 'dreams' of Man City move and other rumours

Benfica forward Darwin Nunez, who is reportedly 'dreaming' of a move to a top European club like Manchester City, has changed his agent to facilitate such a move, according to a report.

The player has switched agents in the hope of getting the big move he craves, as reported by Record (via Sport Witness ). They claim the 22-year-old is keen on making the step up to an established Champions League outfit this summer.

The outlet says that several 'less important' clubs have registered an interest in the attacker but that he is after a move to a team with a bigger profile. City are said to be keeping Nunez - who has scored 26 times this season - on their radar as they search for a striker this summer.

Elsewhere, Cardiff City are keen to retain Tommy Doyle for next season, according to Wales Online . The midfielder secured a short-term loan move to the Bluebirds in January after featuring for Hamburg in Germany’s second tier in the first half of the season. He’s been a hit at the Cardiff City Stadium, scoring twice in 12 Championship games.

Doyle is due to return to Manchester in May but Cardiff are hopeful of another deal and will make this known to City closer to the time. Whether Pep Guardiola wants to integrate the 20-year-old into his first team as the latest breakthrough academy player or not is unclear.
