- The two players who are asking to leave this summer may throw a wrench in his plans for the new season.
Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, could start the new season on an unhappy note if he is unable to stop two of his key players from leaving the club.
The two players who are asking to leave this summer may throw a wrenchs in his plans for the new season.
The players who are desperately seeking to ply their trade elsewhere are Goalkeeper Ederson and Julian Alvarez.
According to The Athletic, Ederson, who joined City in 2017 is attracted by huge offers from Saudi Pro League clubs.
However, it is believed that last season’s Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur seems pivotal to his decision.
After suffering a concussion, the Brazilian was replaced by Stefan Ortega, who made a crucial save against Son Heung-min in the dying minutes of the game.
There were suggestions that Ederson might not have made the stop, an opinion that has unsettled the Brazilian goalkeeper.
Following the match, Ederson cryptically posted on social media, “No one understands but me. See you soon.”
Despite City’s efforts to reassure him of his importance, Ederson is looking to leave.
Also, Julian Alvarez is seeking a club where he can be the regular starting striker.
The report claims Alvarez and his family have “grown tired of the weather in England and would welcome a move to a country with a warmer climate.”
