Brentford is well aware of City’s keen interest in their prized asset. Hickey has been a vital cog in the Bees’ lineup, featuring in 20 games during the current season. Despite a setback due to an ankle ligament injury in October, Hickey has shown unwavering consistency on the right side of Brentford’s defense, displaying resilience and determination.

Hickey made his senior international debut for Scotland on 24 March, impressing in a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Poland. His performances for both club and country have not gone unnoticed, and if Brentford decides to entertain the idea of cashing in on the young defender just a year after signing him from Bologna, it is estimated that they could command a substantial fee of around £30 million from his potential sale.

As the transfer window looms, Manchester City’s pursuit of Aaron Hickey has captured the attention of football aficionados and pundits alike. Guardiola’s unwavering admiration for the Scottish prodigy and his conviction in Hickey’s suitability to his system has sparked widespread speculation about a potential move. Only time will tell if Hickey will don the iconic blue jersey of Manchester City and join the ranks of Guardiola’s formidable squad.
