According to The Athletic, the forward is keen to secure more playing time and move to a warmer climate. However, his ambitions might be thwarted by Manchester City’s valuation of around £60 million ($77 million), plus an additional £17 million ($22 million) in future add-ons. Atletico Madrid, who have shown strong interest in the player, disagrees with City’s demands and might withdraw if further negotiations fail to lower the asking price. After participating in the Copa America, Alvarez has gone to Paris to compete in the Summer Olympics for Argentina, which may deter Pep Guardiola from giving him a starting…

When asked about comparisons to Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, Vincent Kompany responded. The former Etihad captain addressed the media yesterday as he prepares his team for the upcoming season.

They placed third in the Bundesliga, behind title-winners Bayer Leverkusen and second-placed Stuttgart, and were eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals.

Former England player Jermaine Jenas believes FA officials have reason to be hopeful about potentially pursuing Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola. Gareth Southgate’s resignation as Three Lions manager, following four major tournament campaigns including back-to-back European Championship final losses, leaves the FA with a challenging decision on who will lead the talented side. City coach Guardiola is reportedly on the FA’s radar, and they are even willing to wait until his contract expires in 2025. Guardiola has previously expressed a desire to manage internationally one day, but given his history with Spain, it seems unlikely they will be involved.…

However, Newcastle failed to build on their success and missed out on European qualification, fueling further rumors about Guimaraes’ future. Pep Guardiola is said to greatly…
Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League has reached out to Manchester City regarding goalkeeper Ederson. The Brazilian is willing to move to the Middle East and leave the Premier League. The Mail reports that a £25 million offer is on the table, but this amount is insufficient to secure his signature.

Ederson, manager Pep Guardiola, and the team are currently in the United States for preseason training. Comparatively, Donnarumma lacks the…
