Pep Guardiola Looks Again to Barcelona for Talent. The Catalan coach, who hasn't hesitated to strengthen his team with players who know the Barça philosophy very well, has now pointed to one of the great gems of the blaugrana team. From England, Manchester City would already be preparing a multi-million offensive for one of the pillars of the current project led by Joan Laporta.
The English club, with its great economic capacity, would be willing to put an offer of close to 100 million euros on the table. An amount that could tempt a board that continues to deal with significant financial problems and hasn't yet been able to meet all the parameters of Financial Fair Play. However, the response from Camp Nou has been firm and forceful.
Both Joan Laporta and Deco have closed the exit door, considering that the player is non-transferable and is part of the backbone of Barça's future. Moreover, the player himself has replied with the same forcefulness: not for sale, not to be touched. Despite the interest, the Canary Islander's desire is to continue wearing the blaugrana colors.
Replacement for De Bruyne
The City's proposal, as has been revealed, includes an exorbitant salary and a leading role in the team. Guardiola wants to find a reliable replacement for Kevin de Bruyne as soon as possible, who has already suffered several physical problems and is facing the final stretch of his career. He believes that the Spanish international would fit perfectly into his play style.
However, the player is very clear, he wants to succeed at Barcelona, win titles at the club that bet on him, and repay the trust they have always given him. He feels valued, loved by the fans, and, above all, very excited about the future project being built at Barça. He wants to continue with a focus on young talents from La Masia and strategic signings.
Flick Has Him Mesmerized
Pedri González, who has already been tempted by several big European clubs, has once again rejected leaving the club. His commitment is total and, according to close sources, he hasn't even considered the option of negotiating. For him, Barça is more than a team and his priority is to continue growing under the technical direction of Hansi Flick.
Meanwhile, Barça appreciates these kinds of gestures. In a context where many footballers prioritize money, Pedri continues to bet on the sentimental and sporting aspects. Laporta considers his continuity vital and is convinced that the Canary Islander will be one of the faces of the new Barça.
Although Manchester City doesn't throw in the towel, it seems difficult that they can break that bond between Pedri and FC Barcelona. The player is not for sale and his entourage insists that he only thinks about continuing to shine at Spotify Camp Nou. Guardiola will have to look for other alternatives, at Can Barça, this gem is not to be touched.
