After beating Urawa Red Diamonds 3-0 in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Premier League giants Manchester City are eager to get their hands on this important honour, but for manager Pep Guardiola, the current problems in the team are still unresolved, and they have to continue to look beyond the field. It is true that the heart of the midfield Kevin De Bruyne has returned to training, but it will not be easy for Manchester City to continue competing for trophies in the Premier League and Champions League in the second half of the season, and with the club management giving away a 60 million euros **, fans at the Etihad Stadium are destined to be full of anticipation this time!
After 17 rounds of league games, with 10 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, ranking 4th in the Premier League standings, and only 7 points in the last 6 league games, Guardiola has encountered unprecedented challenges in his 7th season in charge of Manchester City. It is true that the performance of the Premier League giants in the Champions League and Club World Cup is still strong, but the league trophy is still the most important goal of the whole team, and the holes between the back and the back line have been repeatedly targeted by opponents, Guardiola himself is very much looking forward to the arrival of the transfer market this winter, this time the Spanish coach did not hesitate at all, directly asked the club management to bring in a top midfielder! !
On December 20, Beijing time, the British ** Manchester Evening News broke the heavy news that the Manchester City management led by Mubarak has officially sent a ** of up to 60 million euros, hoping to help Guardiola bring in Portuguese international Parinha this winter. Manchester City originally hoped to wait for the departure of Phillips to be finalized before completing the deal, but Guardiola himself did not hesitate at all, and directly informed Mubarak himself that he must immediately participate in the competition for Parinha, so that the Bundesliga hegemony Bayern Munich may be embarrassed! !
The ** pointed out that Fulham have agreed to a transfer for Parhinha this winter, but only if a team meets the 60 million euro**. Bayern, Chelsea and Liverpool were previously seen as potential destinations for the Portugal international, especially with Thomas Tuchel in charge Bayern Munich narrowly signing Parhinha himself in the summer, but now with Manchester City sending such a blockbuster directly, the deal will become very easy next. And whether the Bundesliga hegemon will match the ** of Manchester City mainly depends on the future choice of midfielder Kimmich!
The 28-year-old's contract with Bayern Munich expires in the summer of 2025 and the player himself has suspended all contract renewal talks, and the Bundesliga giants are now willing to listen to the German international. The main reason why Kimmich is reluctant to renew his contract with the club is that manager Thomas Tuchel insisted on bringing in a No.6 player, and the German midfielder even directly stated that he was a No.6 player in an interview. And if Kimmich's contract renewal ultimately fails, and Parhinha is snatched away by Manchester City, the Bundesliga giants will face the embarrassment of being unavailable in the middle of the midfield!
Coincidentally, Kimmich is also a candidate for Manchester City's signing, but Pep Guardiola's side are well aware that it will be very difficult to bring in a German international this winter with both teams competing for the Champions League and the league title in the second half of the season, so Manchester City have set their sights on Parinha. In the case of Bayern's management unwilling to meet Fulham**, Tuchel has to face the trouble of Kimmich's future departure, and the Portuguese midfielder is also unable to join
