‘Barcelona and Real Madrid want to strengthen their defenses in this summer transfer window. One of the names being mentioned more and more strongly is that of Gvardiol. And the defender is open to it. He does not rule out a departure despite feeling “happy” at Manchester City.’
It was precisely about the rumors that the player himself spoke at the press conference during his training camp ahead of the World Cup. “We have all seen the rumors coming from everywhere. I am happy at Manchester City, I have everything I need,” the player said.
After the World Cup we’ll see what happens
‘But he did not rule out an exit: “Before the injury I played every match and almost every minute. After the World Cup we’ll see what happens”. Gvardiol lamented the departure of Guardiola, his great backer when he signed from Leipzig for 90 million euros.’
He is under contract with the “Citizens” until 2028 and the club has not renewed him for the time being. Pep’s departure could make him look favorably on a change of scenery, and La Liga could be a very appealing destination. Real Madrid and Barça are looking for a center-back and it is a great opportunity. Especially for the Blaugrana, who are also weighing the possibility of a left-back and Gvardiol can play in both positions.
