Summer is fast approaching and one thing is clear at Manchester City. Three weeks before the transfer window closes, the English champions have only signed Savinho. They had to pay €25 million for the Brazilian, who came from Troyes… where he never played. Worse still, the Skyblues are going to lose Julian Alvarez. Guardiola admitted this half-heartedly at a press conference yesterday. The Argentinian will join Atlético de Madrid for €80 million (+€15 million), the biggest sale in the club’s history.
As the club prepares to challenge Manchester United in the Community Shield (this Saturday at 5 p.m.), the Cityzens have already started looking for a replacement to allow Erling Haaland to breathe a little this season.Yes, we will see.Guardiola said at a press conference. If we need someone, the price we have to pay must be right, otherwise it makes no sense.“, assures the Catalan. He can already forget a first clue that appeared in recent days.
Recruit yes, but overpay no
The Rodrygo Goes rumor did not last long. The Brazilian does not want to leave Real Madrid where his playing time is threatened by the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. The prospecting continues and will not be easy because the market is already well advanced.We will see what opportunities arise at the end of the market, if a club needs to sell more than it currently does for example, so I don’t know.“For the striker or Kingsley Coman, nothing is certain but Guardiola still has a request to his leaders.
According to him, there is a lack of an element capable of giving Rodri a breather, who finished his club season on his knees before shining at the Euro. “There might be a defensive midfielder who can play central defence or a central defender who can play in place of Rodri.” But on one condition, that of not overpaying.Many players did not come because the club did not pay what the other club wanted for that player. The club will continue to do what is right.“The other clubs are warned.
