“Barcelona and Real Madrid want to strengthen their defense in this summer transfer window. One name that is increasingly mentioned is that of Gvardiol, and the defender is open to it. He does not rule out the possibility of leaving, even though he feels “happy” at Manchester City.
This was exactly the rumor that the player himself spoke about at a press conference during training camp leading up to the World Cup. “I’ve seen rumors coming from everywhere. I’m happy at Manchester City. We have everything we need,” he said.
We’ll see what happens once the World Cup is over.
“But he did not rule out the possibility of leaving. “Before the injury, I was playing almost every minute of every game. Once the World Cup is over, we’ll see what happens.” Gvardiol lamented the departure of Guardiola, who was a great backer when Gvardiola signed for 90 million euros from Leipzig.
He has a contract with Citizens until 2028, but the club has not renewed his contract for the time being. Pep’s departure could be seen as a welcome change of pace, and La Liga could be a very attractive transfer destination. Real Madrid and Barça are looking for a centre-back and this is a great opportunity. Especially for the Blaugrana, the possibility of a left-back position is also being considered, with Gvardiol able to play in both positions.
