Real Madrid and Manchester City are not only competing on the field, but there is fierce competition off the field to sign the best players in the world.
Jude Bellingham may not be the last defeat for Manchester City at the hands of Real Madrid, as Real Madrid is close to signing two players that Guardiola wants very much from Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola knows this firsthand, but he does not include all the players he wants. In fact, some of them ended up at the Santiago Bernabeu and were, in these seasons, one of the reasons for the elimination of the six from the Champions League.
According to information received from the Spanish network Defensa Central, Alfonso Davies and Florian Wirtz are the two names that Pep Guardiola aspires to sign directly, but there is a major obstacle facing him called Real Madrid.
The network added that Pep Guardiola is shocked by Real Madrid’s contractual strength outside the field, as this duo is very close to reaching Real Madrid, one of them this summer, and here is the talk about Alphonso Davies, and the second in the summer of 2025, and here is the talk about Florian Wirtz.
“They take the best, and this cannot be, we have to be better at this kind of thing,” Guardiola told City management after losing the Bellingham deal last year.
The network concluded that Manchester City, despite the millions of dollars it possesses, cannot keep up with the genius Florentino Perez, especially in terms of deals and contracts with the best names in the world.
