Barca News
Pep Guardiola does not forget Pedri González, and continues to consider him a very interesting signing for Manchester City. The reigning Premier League champions have lost Julián Álvarez, who has been transferred to Atlético de Madrid, and also Oscar Bobb, one of the revelations of the pre-season, who has suffered a serious injury that will keep him out for several months . So they plan to go to the market, despite the fact that they signed Savio Moreira.
And the Barça star is a footballer that the coach of Santpedor really likes, who in the past already tried to get his services, although at that time it was impossible to reach an agreement with Joan Laporta , who he did not want to lose’ l. But now everything has changed radically after the dismissal of Xavi Hernández and the hiring of Hans-Dieter Flick as the new coach of the first team, who does not consider the Canary Islands untouchable.
In this demarcation he already has Fermín López, Frenkie de Jong, Ilkay Gündogan or Dani Olmo, the only signing they have closed at the Camp Nou, so the loss of the ‘8’ would not be particularly painful. So if they can get a lot of money with the sale of the Spanish international, they will sit down to negotiate, and it has been valued at more than 80 million euros. An amount that they can pay at the Etihad Stadium without any problem or inconvenience.
They have an infinite budget, so money is not a setback. Pedri is also seen as a very interesting successor for Kevin de Bruyne, who has already shown his intention to finish in Saudi Arabia in 2025, to sign one last big contract. But the ‘skyblues’ will try to reduce the cost that the European champion would have , including a piece that is not part of Guardiola’s plans, as is the case of Matheus Nunes.
That way, they would get Gonzalez to land in Manchester at a considerably lower price, and lose sight of the Portuguese international, who arrived just a year ago but disappointed with his performances.
