Manchester City full-back Angelino is currently out on loan at RB Leipzig. The 24-year-old has been an integral part of the Bundesliga side and Sky Sports understands that the German side are ready to make the deal permanent for a fee in the range of £16.3 million.

The position on the right defensive flank currently houses Joao Cancelo and Kyle Walker and neither of them have shown signs of slipping up. This just adds on to an impressive defensive display by the former Premier League champions this season. Cancelo has been in imperious form and has played his attacking as well as defensive roles very well.

Having made only 15 appearances for the Sky Blues, Angelino failed to establish himself as an important player in the Manchester City set-up, confirming why the 24-year-old has only made 15 appearances for the first team since joining the club in 2014.

Having scored 8 goals this season and assisting on 11 occasions, Angelino has found himself a lot of attacking freedom to play with, and fair to say the Spaniard has been thriving in the role.

The permanent departure of Angelino shouldn’t be much of a blow to the Cityzens who have been linked with a series of big names for the upcoming summer window. Naturally, the former Premier League Champions will be in need of funds as they look to land their top priority target in Erling Haaland for the next season. Renan Lodi is also linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium as the position on the left-flank in the backline hasn’t been filled well. Benjamin Mendy was expected to make the position his own but recurrent injuries coupled with poor form have meant him being in and out of the set-up.
