After managing to win their first Champions League, Manchester City can now lose two stars from Pep Guardiola’s squad
O manchester city won the Champions League, but could lose two stars in the market for the ball to come. That’s because, since the last transfer window, some stars from the squad of Pep Guardiola had already indicated that they might not continue at the club for the 2023/24 season. That’s because two midfielders never hid their desire to change scenery in the year to come.
Bernardo Silva and Gundogan are the two players who live in a situation of uncertainty in the Manchester City squad. The former has a contract with the English club until mid-2025 and will not have an easy release. According to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese arouses the interest of Barcelona, in addition to PSG.
The French club even hopes to reinforce its squad with the midfielder since March, but Manchester City play hard and should only release the star in case of a millionaire offer by the French. Barcelona runs out in the negotiation, but also does not rule out making a big investment for the Portuguese. However, the club’s financial situation is more delicate and this could complicate the conversations with the Cityzens.
Meanwhile, Gundogan is the one who could leave Manchester City straight away. Despite being in the final stretch of his contract with the English club, he has already received a renewal offer. According to Fabrizio Romano, the proposal would be for one year and with an option to extend it for another season. The midfielder has yet to respond as he arouses interest from other clubs.
Barcelona, once again, is one of them and already has a proposal for the athlete. According to the Italian journalist, Barcelona offered Gundogan a three-year contract, which does not rule out the possibility of moving to Spain. Clubs in Saudi Arabia also want to sign him, but the German should remain in Europe.
