Manchester City eliminated Real Madrid and Inter Milan in the Champions League semifinals, no matter from the overall strength, player value and other aspects of analysis Manchester City has an absolute advantage, although this Champions League final has not yet started, but Manchester City has almost put the trophy in their pockets. The boss and Manchester City are also expected to break the Champions League curse. Add to that the Gunners' collapse in the league, and it seems only a matter of time before Manchester City win the league. If they beat arch-rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final, the Blue Moon can achieve a treble, and Pep Guardiola will usher in the pinnacle of his managerial career.
Although the league is not over yet, the transfer market is extremely active in deal rumors. Recently, the editor saw such a transfer rumor. According to the English newspaper The Sun, Manchester City are likely to complete a blockbuster swap deal with deep-pocketed Paris this summer. It is reported that Manchester City are likely to use Portugal international Bernardo Silva as a trade chip to get Brazilian star Neymar from Paris. The Sun believes that Manchester City's agreement to the deal is mainly because top scorer Haaland has refused, Manchester City has offered a contract extension, and he hopes to keep the existing liquidated damages clause in order to land at Real Madrid in the 2024 season. Neymar can form a striker partnership with Haaland after his arrival, and together with the tandem of midfield master De Bruyne, Manchester City will have the most fearsome front-court trident in the Premier League. When Haaland leaves, he is likely to form City's new forward partner with Spider Alvarez.
But after reading this report, I admire the imagination of The Sun, Neymar's form in recent seasons has been on a downward trend, and his value has fallen to 70 million euros due to injuries in Paris. The huge salary will also become a big burden for Manchester City, and Pep Guardiola will not be foolish to accept such a high-paid superstar. Secondly, the B seat is not without the Xia family chase, in addition to Paris, Barcelona also extended an olive branch to the Portugal international. Manchester City comfortably take a huge transfer fee of 80 million to continue to buy people in the transfer market, is it not better than Neymar? Even if Haaland leaves Manchester City to join Real Madrid. Judging from the performance this season, Argentina's talent Alvarez has shown his talent and has a very good performance, and Guardiola is also quite important to him, and is fully capable of succeeding Haaland as the attacking core of Manchester City. Before Haaland joined Manchester City, the manager's usual strikeless squad could also lead Manchester City to the Premier League title.
Therefore, in summary, I personally think that the blockbuster swap deal reported by The Sun about Manchester City and Paris is impossible. Neymar is no longer the same Neymar he was back then, and injuries and huge salaries and sluggish form are destined to make him miss out on top Premier League giants like Manchester City.
