### About Facundo Buonanotte
Facundo Buonanotte, a product of Rosario Central, joined Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2023. While he showed potential, Brighton decided to loan him out this summer to help him further develop.
Last season, Buonanotte scored four goals and provided one assist in 36 appearances. This season, in just eight games, he has already scored three goals and contributed two assists. He is averaging 2.3 shots, 1.3 key passes, and 1 dribble per game (stats via whoscored).
The Argentine mainly plays as an attacking midfielder but is also effective on the right wing. He excels at making runs behind the defense, dribbling effortlessly, and delivering line-breaking passes. Additionally, he is strong defensively, contributing with tackles and supporting defensive efforts.
### Buonanotte’s Growing Potential
Manchester City may not pursue young talents as aggressively as Chelsea, but they are quick to act when a standout player emerges. The club has a strong track record of developing young talents into world-class players.
As City heads into a period of transition, targeting Facundo Buonanotte seems a logical move. The 19-year-old has demonstrated his quality and effectiveness in the attacking third. His versatility and technical skills would fit well with Manchester City’s style. If Buonanotte continues to improve, he could soon find himself among the elite players in the game.
