Spanish newspaper 'Sport' revealed a secret meeting held in the Spanish capital Madrid, which brought together Moussa Sissoko, agent for French star Ousmane Dembélé, and Hugo Viana, sporting director of English club Manchester City. The newspaper explained that this move by the 'Citizens' comes after the heavy defeat the team suffered against Real Madrid in the Champions League, with the English club now seeking to strengthen its squad with major signings. 'Sport' indicated that the meeting covered the files of several players represented by Sissoko, with Dembélé and his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Désiré Doué at the forefront, along with the rising talent Eli Junior Koumbi. According to the same source, this meeting comes at a critical time as the PSG management delays the renewal of Dembélé's contract due to his high financial demands. Although the Parisian club is currently adopting a policy of patience, the appearance of the player's agent with City officials could represent a powerful means of pressure to expedite the future of the French 'Ballon d'Or' winner, or perhaps the beginning of a blockbuster transfer to the English league in the next transfer window.
