Once the World Cup is over, we&#8217;ll see what happens.&#8221; Gvardiol lamented the departure of Guardiola, who was a great backer when Gvardiola signed for 90 million euros from Leipzig.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\">He has a contract with Citizens until 2028, but the club has not renewed his contract for the time being. Pep&#8217;s departure could be seen as a welcome change of pace, and La Liga could be a very attractive transfer destination. Real Madrid and Bar\u00e7a 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/spanish-football\/2026\/06\/01\/gvardiol-doesn-t-close-the-door-on-barca-and-and-real-madrid-we-ll-see-what-happens.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Barcelona and Real Madrid want to strengthen their defense in this summer transfer window.
