Guardiola, the core of the Manchester City dynasty team, has always been a player of great interest to fans. However, it is unfortunate that this season's performance has indeed declined significantly. It is almost impossible for them to win the championship in the Premier League. Therefore, there are now many rumors about Manchester City's rebuilding, among which everyone is more concerned about which players Guardiola wants to clean up. Among the players who are more concerned about leaving are De Bruyne and Grealish. De Bruyne has been the ace of Manchester City over the years, and the team's offensive end relies on his organization and passing. However, this season, his role has indeed been greatly reduced. Moreover, Manchester City currently has no intention of renewing his contract, so it is very likely that De Bruyne will leave after his contract expires. Grealish has performed very poorly in the past two years, so it is normal for him to leave at the end of this season. After Guardiola's rebuild, he also hopes to sign five superstars, the first of which is Bundesliga MVP Wirtz. As the ace who led Leverkusen to an undefeated championship last season, Manchester City has always hoped to sign him as their future core. The other players Guardiola is interested in are Musiala, Suvimendi, Marius, and Guehi, all of whom are strong players in their respective leagues. If Guardiola can create a new lineup for Manchester City, they will once again become the strongest team in Europe, making Real Madrid uneasy. After all, Manchester City's financial strength…

In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester City won 2-0 away against Leicester City, marking their second victory in the last 14 matches. In this game, new summer signing Savigno contributed with a goal and an assist, becoming the key player for the team's win. Haaland also ended his four-game goal drought by scoring in the match. However, for Manchester City fans, the biggest highlight of the game was 22-year-old McAtee. He came off the bench and created the team's second goal. After the game, Coach Guardiola publicly apologized to him, admitting that he had given McAtee too few opportunities before. In this game, McAtee came on as a substitute in the 66th minute, which was his third appearance in the Premier League this season and the first time he played before the 89th minute. When McAtee came on, the score was 1-0. The current Manchester City team is not good at maintaining a lead. A few minutes after McAtee came on, Vardy's header hit the post, causing a cold sweat among Manchester City fans. In the 73rd minute of the game, McAtee took the ball on the flank, made a brilliant dribble past a defender, and then passed the ball to De Bruyne, who then passed it to Savigno on the left and finally assisted Haaland to score the second goal for Manchester City. After leading 2-0, the hearts of Manchester City fans finally settled. After this goal, the Manchester City fans at the scene did not shout Haaland's name first, but instead they were calling out…

Due to Manchester City's recent poor performance, the club's management has begun to plan a large-scale cleaning operation. Many former veterans of the team, due to their poor performance this season, may be included in Guardiola's cleaning plan. Recently, according to the latest report from the "Daily Mail", Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, known as B-Silva, may also be sold by the club next season. Due to the extremely poor performance this season, the Manchester City management has decided to take action and started to prepare for the future layout of the team, aiming to optimize the team structure to ensure that the team can sweep away the depression and return to its former peak state. The 30-year-old B-Silva is also within the scope of Manchester City's adjustment. However, the reason for B-Silva being cleaned up by Manchester City is not entirely because of his personal state decline, but for other reasons. Everyone knows that B-Silva, as a key member of the Manchester City team and Guardiola's favorite player, his ability and contribution are beyond doubt. However, in football, age and contract status are often important factors in determining a player's stay or departure. B-Silva is about to enter the second half of his career, and his contract is about to enter the last year, which undoubtedly increases the uncertainty for the club in renewal negotiations. To avoid the potential transfer turmoil affecting the stability of the team in the future, Manchester City chose to push B-Silva into the transfer market at this moment, which is both a respect for…

Manchester City is in crisis, with only one win, one draw, and six losses in their last eight Premier League matches, accumulating just 28 points after 18 rounds and ranking seventh. To overcome this slump, winter transfer window acquisitions are crucial. On December 29th, The Daily Mail revealed that Pep Guardiola has listed five potential signings, aiming to bring in three top players during the winter window.‌ With Rodri suffering a serious injury, Gundogan, Grealish, and De Bruyne underperforming, and Stones, Ruben Dias, and Ake all experiencing injuries, Manchester City needs to invest heavily in rebuilding. The Daily Mail understands that the financially strong Manchester City is willing to spend big to refresh its squad. Guardiola has also compiled a list of five targets:‌ Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, valued at 60 million euros by Transfermarkt. This organizing midfielder is being watched by several giants like Barcelona, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.‌ Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, valued at 80 million euros. Manchester City attempted to sign Guimaraes last summer but was unsuccessful.‌ Musiala from Bayern Munich, valued at 140 million euros. Musiala is an attacking midfielder who has scored 9 goals and provided 3 assists in 13 Bundesliga games this season, as well as 2 goals and 3 assists in 6 Champions League games, making him a potential successor to De Bruyne.‌ Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, also valued at 140 million euros. Wirtz can play as an attacking midfielder or winger, scoring 7 goals and providing 7 assists in 15 Bundesliga games this season, and 5 goals and 1 assist in 6…

As a four-time Premier League champion, Manchester City has experienced an unusually poor season, with key players such as Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, and Kevin De Bruyne underperforming. Currently, the team is ranked seventh in the league, having dropped out of the European competition spots. However, Manchester City has had several outstanding players in the past who, due to limited opportunities at the club, were forced to leave and subsequently excelled at their new teams, raising questions about the club's transfer capabilities. Let's take a look at five former players who have performed exceptionally well after leaving Manchester City. Alvarez According to Marca, Atletico Madrid has a win rate of 69.23% this season, setting a new record since Simeone took over the club, currently topping La Liga ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona. This outstanding performance is closely related to the Argentine forward Alvarez, who was acquired from Manchester City for 75 million euros this summer. Alvarez has scored 12 goals in various competitions this season, making him the top scorer within Manchester City. Since joining Manchester City from River Plate, Alvarez has consistently performed well, contributing 36 goals and 18 assists in two seasons. However, his position at Manchester City was not stable, and he could not secure a regular starting spot. Consequently, he decided to join Atletico Madrid for 75 million euros. Now, with Haaland struggling alone on the front line and new signing Savigno yet to score, Alvarez's versatility and explosiveness would make Manchester City fans miss him even more. Palmer In September 2023, Chelsea acquired Palmer…

Manchester City's recent performance has been poor, with only one win, three draws, and nine losses. As a team that has won the Premier League four times in a row and the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City is experiencing a major setback this season, with constant criticism directed at manager Pep Guardiola. Questions have been raised about Guardiola's use of young players from the club's academy, with some of these players flourishing after leaving the club, such as Palmer. Now, another academy player is considering leaving. Determined to leave! The first player out of Manchester City in the winter window is dissatisfied with Guardiola and eager to become Palmer. On December 28th, according to reports from The Telegraph, Manchester City player James McAtee is inclined to leave the team during the winter transfer window. The media states that McAtee is not short of suitors, with Premier League teams Nottingham Forest, West Ham United, Brentford, and Crystal Palace showing interest, as well as Bundesliga clubs Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig, and Serie A teams Fiorentina and Bologna. McAtee is currently 22 years old, plays as a midfielder, and has a market value of 14 million euros. In the England U21 national team, McAtee is a key player, wearing the number 10 jersey and serving as captain. Due to the upcoming U21 European Championship next year, McAtee needs playing time, but he feels disappointed with his current situation at Manchester City. This season, McAtee has made eight appearances for the first team, starting three times and scoring one goal, including…

In an interview with Amazon Prime ahead of the match against Everton, Pep Guardiola admitted that Manchester City need to sign players in January. Guardiola said: "If possible, we must bring in new signings, definitely, definitely. We are struggling at the moment, especially in defense and midfield positions. I believe the team has to buy new players, but I don't know what will happen. The winter transfer window is not easy, everyone understands. Even the players are asking 'Will we buy anyone?!'" Antony's agent, Pedroso, told GIVEMESPORT that many clubs are interested in signing his client in January. Pedroso said: "Yes, many clubs have contacted us about signing Antony in January. These teams want to understand Antony's situation, so I can confirm that there is indeed substantial interest. To be honest, Manchester United has never expressed a plan to sell or loan out Antony to us, we haven't received such information. It can be said that Antony's future is closely related to the interests of Manchester United. If the club thinks it would be good to loan him out for training next month, then we will discuss this possibility together. Otherwise, Antony will strive to compete for his position under the new coach Amorim." In an interview with Amazon Prime, Van Dijk stated that he can maintain his peak form for another 3-4 years, with his contract expiring next year. The Liverpool captain said: "I love this club, the club loves me, I love the fans here, and the fans love me, which is a very good foundation for success.…

After Rodri's injury, Manchester City's performance experienced a cliff-like decline. In the 17 games since Rodri's injury, Manchester City achieved a record of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses, which is almost the worst record under Guardiola's coaching at Manchester City. Guardiola once scratched his head in frustration during the game, on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the recent contract renewal with the team, Guardiola might have wanted to leave Manchester City quickly to avoid further damage to his reputation due to the team's poor performance. In fact, Rodri's injury is not the only reason for Manchester City's poor performance. The real factor affecting Manchester City's win rate is Guardiola himself. In Guardiola's tactical system, the role of English right-back Kyle Walker is crucial. He can play as a right-back and occasionally as a center-back, and his form determines the performance of Manchester City's right flank in both attack and defense. However, Kyle Walker is now older and his form is far from his peak, resulting in Manchester City's right flank being almost paralyzed, making him the biggest weak point in Manchester City's defense. Furthermore, after letting go of "Little Spider" Alvarez, Manchester City has only Haaland left with stable goal-scoring ability on the front line. The rest of the wingers lack the necessary abilities to provide sufficient support to Haaland, leading to Haaland being isolated in the game. From recent matches, Haaland has yet to reach the level where he can carry the team alone. When the team is in trouble, he lacks the organizational…

In the match between Manchester City and Everton, a result that fans expected occurred. Facing an opponent who was clearly not as strong as themselves, Manchester City did not show a particularly good form. In the end, the entire game ended in a 1-1 draw against their opponents. This game also surprised many fans because Manchester City had the opportunity to win the game. Haaland had a chance to take a penalty kick in the 52nd minute of the game. However, during the penalty kick, Haaland's hesitation led to the ball being saved by the opposing goalkeeper. Although Haaland subsequently scored through a follow-up shot, the goal was not counted as he was already in an offside position. Through this game, everyone can see the so-called "world's number one player" more clearly. When facing tough matches or when the team is in a critical situation, it is difficult for him to stand out. He can only continue to perform poorly following the rhythm of the team. In the recent four games, Haaland has contributed zero goals and zero assists, which is clearly unsatisfactory for the fans. There are even rumors now that Haaland wants to openly act to get rid of Pep Guardiola, so he has started to slack off. However, Haaland's abilities do need to be viewed objectively. He can score goals crazily, largely relying on Manchester City's excellent tactical system. But when players like De Bruyne experience a decline in form and age, it is obviously impossible for Haaland to lead the team alone. As a successor to…

For the Blue Moon Manchester City this season, their once invincible performance on the field has suddenly lost its former glory. The dynasty created by Pep Guardiola has suddenly collapsed, catching everyone off guard. In the last 12 matches, Guardiola's team has achieved a dismal record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 9 losses. The Spanish coach has been caught on camera more than once with a blank stare and a helpless expression on the sidelines, his position as head coach hanging by a thread. If he were the coach of any other top club, he would have been fired without a doubt. However, the Manchester City hierarchy continues to support Guardiola unconditionally, extending his contract until 2027, and Guardiola himself has stated that he will not resign. Halfway through the Premier League season, Manchester City has a record of 8 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses, accumulating 27 points and ranking 7th in the league table. They have been surpassed by non-traditional BIG6 teams like Bournemouth and Aston Villa. According to statistics, teams ranked 7th before Christmas have never finished in the top 4 of the league. While Manchester City has a tradition of finishing strong, it remains to be seen if they can break this fate and secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League. Rodri, Manchester City's main defensive midfielder, had an outstanding season last year, helping the team win the Premier League title. In the Ballon d'Or voting, the Spaniard narrowly edged out Vinicius Jr. of Real Madrid to claim the award. Rodri has been sidelined…
