Riesgo could join Manchester City LaLiga As third choice goalkeeper

Eibar goalkeeper Asier Riesgo's future is up in the air and will be resolved in the next two weeks as that is how long he has to respond to the club's contract offer which has been on the table for a month.

It seems inevitable that he will reject that offer to end a five year stint at Estadio de Ipurua, available on a free transfer from July 1.

Pumas have shown an interest but that has faded as it seems he would not be Michel Gonzalez's first choice and now The Sun claim that he could be considered by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City as a cheap third choice.

Riesgo has a great relationship with Xabier Mancisidor, City's goalkeeping coach, from their time together at Real Sociedad and Mancisidor has recommended Riesgo to the Citizens hierarchy.

He would play a vital role bringing his experience in to complement Ederson and Claudio Bravo.

The player's entourage refused to confirm or deny the rumours, though they did recognise that Pumas is no longer an option.

Riesgo knows that in Manchester he would do little more than train or warm the bench in the case of injury, though there will be few opportunities for him to play at such a high level at this stage in his career at the age of 35.

If the move does come to fruition, it would also reunite him with Claudio Bravo, who he competed alongside for the Real Sociedad number one shirt before the Chilean moved to Barcelona.
