Unbelievable, Man City determined to own Real Madrid’s ‘forgotten diamond’ to replace Cancelo

Man City and Arsenal are both interested in Real Madrid’s Ferland Mendy. However, Man City is currently more likely to succeed in this deal.

During this winter transfer window, Man City was ᵴuгргιᵴeԀ when it was confirmed that Joao Cancelo would move to Bayern to play on loan until the end of the season. The Portuguese player is said to have acted inappropriately inside the dressing room and made coach Pep Guardiola unhappy.

Cancelo’s move to Bayern made the strategist born in 1971 not have many options at the left-back position. Nathan Ake is often used in this position. The Dutch player also played quite well. However, this is not a long-term solution. The Citizens still need a true full-back with a good enough speed and technical background.

Sergio Gomez is not used very often. The 22-year-old has only played six times in the Premier League this season and has not played a full 90 minutes. The Etihad Stadium team is said to be targeting Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy to overcome the shortage of personnel.

Arsenal is also interested in this player. However, they already have Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney as left-back. Gunners will most likely not spend any more money. They need more personnel in the midfield. Declan Rice is said to be the top priority of the Emirates Stadium team in the next summer transfer window. Gunners will hardly spend money on other goals.

The leadership of the Royal Spanish team was too fed up with Ferland Mendy’s injury. In La Liga alone this season, he has not been present since round 19. In round 26, the French defender played 28 minutes against Barcelona and then continued to be absent when Real Madrid ƅҽɑт Valladolid 6-0 on April 2. 

However, Real Madrid still wants to collect some money from the former Lyon star. They spent more than £46 million to get this player’s signature. The current contract between the two parties гҽмɑᎥ𝚗s until June 2025. White vultures will sit at the negotiating table if they receive an offer of no less than £50 million. According to Transfermarkt, the player is worth around £30 million.

Pep Guardiola dismisses ‘big advantage’ in the Premier League title race with Arsenal

Man City will have a great battle with Liverpool in the 29th round of the English Premier League. Before the match, coach Pep Guardiola said that his experience was of no help to the title competition with Arsenal.

The Citizens are currently at a disadvantage in the race to win the Premier League. They are in 2nd place in the table, 8 points behind Arsenal and 1 game less. The season has only 10 rounds to go to the end and this team needs to save every point to be able to hope to surpass the Gunners.

In this chasing position, coach Pep Guardiola’s championship racing experience is considered a factor that will greatly help the green half of Manchester. From Barcelona, and Bayern to Man City, the Spaniard is too used to entering the final phase of the season to compete for the championship.

Recently, the legend of Man Utd – Wayne Rooney also shared about the experience factor. He thinks Arsenal will be the side under more pressure. Both coach Mikel Arteta and the Gunners’ youthful team are rarely in their current position as the season enters its final stages.

However, coach Pep Guardiola himself has just voiced that previous experience makes no sense at this time. “I would rather be in Arsenal’s position than experience four Premier League titles in five years,” he said. The advantage is that they are 8 points ahead of us, which is quite a big gap. The past is the past, experience has no meaning, absolutely nothing.”

The former Barcelona captain continued: “I would feel very bad to hear anyone ᵴɑү they don’t need to show anything.

They don’t need to prove anything because of what they’ve done in the past. You have to prove yourself every day. The past is just the past. You only stop expressing yourself when you’re retired.”

“I don’t think so,” he said. The game at the end of the day is what they care about. I have never played a match thinking that I will win with experience. Every situation, every match, and every opponent is different. Your situation is different every season.”
