Manchester City have enjoyed a very quiet summer so far, with only Savio’s arrival announced but more signings expected to arrive over the coming days.
It is also necessary to include the name of Julian Alvarez, who surprised everyone with his recent statements. He made it clear that he is not at all satisfied with the minutes and continuity he provided during last season, and he considers that he has earned the right to play much more and does not want to be satisfied with having a secondary role and playing as a substitute. Or in completely unimportant matches.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper El Nacional: Guardiola asked Manchester City officials to negotiate a swap deal with Florentino Perez, in which Manchester City would allow world champion Julian Alvarez to transfer to Real Madrid in exchange for obtaining the jewel of the Bernabeu stadium.
The newspaper added that Pep Guardiola admires the talent of Brazilian player Rodrigo Goes, and has already tried to join Manchester City on more than one occasion in the past. It was the 23-year-old striker who refused to leave the Santiago Bernabeu, but after signing Kylian Mbappe, he may change his mind.
The newspaper confirmed, although the reality is that Real Madrid do not seem very attracted to the idea of letting Rodrigo, who still has the trust of Carlo Ancelotti, leave, to bring in Julian Alvarez.
Florentino Pérez prefers to keep the number 11, even though he showed an irregular version last season in addition to Real Madrid’s need for a striker with the abilities of the Argentine star.
