Cardiff City are eyeing up an audacious move for rival Swansea City goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski according to a report from The Sun.
It has already been reported that Cardiff are interested in signing Sam Johnstone from Manchester United. He is currently on loan at Aston Villa and while they would want to make the deal permanent, it might not be possible they don’t beat Fulham in the Sky Bet Championship play-off final and get promoted to the Premier League. But with the deal for Johnstone being in flux, Cardiff are looking at other potential targets.
And one of the other targets could end up causing a riot in South Wales. They have been looking at Fabianski who currently plays for their fierce rivals Swansea City. The 33-year-old goalkeeper has been their number one since signing for them in 2014 but his future at the club is in doubt after they were relegated from the Premier League. And just to rub salt into the wounds after they took their place in the top tier, Cardiff could look to sign him this summer.
It goes without saying that this will be a tough transfer to pull off. Swansea would not want to lose one of their top players full stop and the fact that he could go to their main rival would be particularly galling. This means that they might drive up the price to try and put off Cardiff and even Fabianski might not want to risk his reputation in Swansea by heading to the Welsh capital.
