Cardiff City Manager, Erol Bulut, made it clear that the club is standing firm on their valuation of Mark McGuinness, stating that they will only sell the defender for the right price. Luton Town has shown interest in signing the 23-year-old center-back, but Cardiff has set a price tag of £10m for the player. Despite the interest in McGuinness, Cardiff is also looking to bring in up to three more players, particularly a striker.
Bulut emphasized McGuinness’ value to the team, highlighting his quality as a player and the interest he has generated from other clubs. He mentioned that as long as the club’s valuation is met, they will consider letting McGuinness go. The manager also acknowledged that Ryan Wintle has received offers and is likely to leave Cardiff before the transfer window closes.
In terms of incoming transfers, Bulut confirmed that Cardiff is not done adding to their squad and is actively looking for quality players. He mentioned that as the transfer market deadline approaches, it becomes more challenging to secure deals, but the club is in negotiations and exploring options. The injuries to strikers Kion Etete and Isaak Davies have created a need for a new striker, with Bulut hinting that they have potential targets in mind.
Overall, Cardiff City is focused on enhancing their squad and ensuring they have the right players to compete effectively. The club is open to letting go of players like McGuinness and Wintle if the right offers come in, but they are also actively seeking to bring in new talent to strengthen their team for the upcoming season. Fans can expect more transfer activity from Cardiff as they work towards building a competitive squad.
