Fixed! The Premier League champion signed a new midfielder with 30 million signings, and the coach handpicked a strongman and let Gundogan go to Barca
Manchester City's crowning of the treble will not make a big move this summer, and Guardiola will make personnel changes in individual positions. Italy's Romano revealed that Manchester City have agreed with Chelsea that the Premier League champions will pay £30 million to sign the 29-year-old Kovacic, a player handpicked by the Manchester City manager, and the Croatian midfielder is very appreciative of the coach. Kovacic's arrival also means Gundogan's departure, and Daily Sport revealed that Gundogan is ready to sign a three-year contract with Barca.
Guardiola originally wanted to keep Gundogan, after all, the German is his favorite player, and the first player to sign when the boss joined Manchester City was Gundogan. But Gundogan and Barca have already negotiated, and winning the treble at Manchester City has left him with no new motivation, and after many exchanges with Xavi, Gundogan is more willing to go to Barca to embark on a new adventure. Gundogan is currently waiting for Barça to meet the financial conditions so that he can complete his registration.
In the absence of Gundogan, City can only bring in new players in midfield, Kovacic is admired by Guardiola, as early as 2018 Manchester City began to pay attention to Kovacic, Guardiola believes that the Croatian player is skilled enough to play any position in midfield. Guardiola is now in the 3241 formation, and Kovacic can play his part, both at the back and in the midfield.
It is reported that Chelsea are already planning to bring in a replacement for Mateo Kovacic, with candidates being Lavia, Onana and Kecedo. Pochettino will build a new team according to his own ideas this summer, many players will leave, some will join, owner Boly will give financial support, and when Pochettino pinches this team into shape, Chelsea next season is still worth looking forward to.
As for Manchester City, they already have a strong enough team that all they have to do is retain key players in key positions and, if not, Guardiola will also look for suitable replacements in the transfer market. From the current situation, Cancelo will leave in the summer and Mendy will also go, but because Manchester City has changed to 3241, the club's demand for full-backs is not as great as before, so Manchester City will mainly have some signings in the midfield, such as B and Mahrez may go, and Manchester City will also find suitable replacements.
