Goodbye Manchester City, in 2025, Pep Guardiola will return to Barcelona only to fight against the strongest Real Madrid
ACCORDING TO THE SPANISH MEDIA "REVELO", THE COACH OF THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE GIANTS MANCHESTER, GUARDIOLA, IS THINKING ABOUT HIS FUTURE AFTER THE TEAM LOST 7-8 TO REAL MAD MAD TO BID FAREWELL TO THE CHAMPIONS. He is likely to say goodbye to Manchester City after next year's contract and return to the club where he started his career: Barcelona. There are 3 reasons for this idea.
First of all, Manchester City are currently undergoing a squad change that will make the club's competitiveness for the rest of the game a mystery. De Bruyne and Bernard Silva, the team's two cores over the years, are likely to leave the team in the next 1-2 years. The former is because he is about to turn 33 years old, and there is a $200 million salary offered by Saudi Jeddah United to attract him to join, as a player who has won the league's grand slam, Tintin is likely to say goodbye to European football completely after the European Championship this summer. As for Bernard Silva, the reasons are similar to those of JD, who also hopes to have a career experience with Barcelona.
With the departure of these two core organizations, Manchester City is likely to be in chaos for at least two to three years, despite their deep pockets. Just like this summer, the impact of JD's departure on Manchester City is obvious, and it is difficult for the heavily brought in Kovacic to play a similar role.
The second point is the fateful intersection between Guardiola and Real Madrid. As one of the best managers in football today, Pep Guardiola, who was born in Barcelona, has become an absolute rival with Real Madrid since his debut. This has not changed even if he leaves Barcelona and joins Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Just like in recent seasons, the encounter between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League has become a fixture in UEFA.
After this summer, Real Madrid will have a chilling starting lineup, with the addition of 24-year-old Mbappe, Real Madrid is worth only 70 million, and there are as many as 7 stars under the age of 25. Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius, Bellingham, Ernesto Valverde, Tchouameni and Camavinga. It can be said that Real Madrid president Florentino has built another 'youth version of the Galaxy Battleship' for the club.
In addition to challenging the galaxy, the battle between Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti for the best manager in history is also in full swing. After winning the Champions League last year, Guardiola has won three Champions League titles, but in terms of numbers, he is still inferior to Carlo Ancelotti, who has won four Champions League titles. Pep Guardiola has lost again in a head-to-head clash this season, while Carlo Ancelotti has a good chance of taking his Champions League tally to five. Obviously, returning to Barcelona to face Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid head-to-head is a shortcut for Pep Guardiola's race for the best manager of all time.
Third, it is the inseparable bond between him and Barcelona. When Laporta returned to the club as president, Barça's La Masia tradition was being restored. At the moment, the club already has seven new stars such as Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Fermien, Alex Balde, Kubasi and Gou, but they are missing a best person at the helm.
And who is more qualified than Pep Guardiola, who was born in Barcelona and became famous in Barcelona? Using La Masia's 7 stars to challenge Real Madrid's Galaxy 7 is obviously a football event comparable to the 'Mero Race' back then, and his old partner Laporta will also help Guardiola clean up all the noise off the field and let him focus on football itself.
In fact, considering that Pep Guardiola's contract with Manchester City will expire in 2025, and there are no rumors of contract renewal between the two sides, this in itself shows that there are some contradictions between the two, and perhaps in 2025, we will see that familiar figure in Barcelona.
