Manchester City started their Premier League campaign wonderfully. They dispatched Wolves easily by 4-0 to go to the top of the table in the first week.
Now, Pep Guardiola will be eager to keep this momentum going because he just cannot afford to have another trophyless season.
Also, the Spaniard has indicated that he might take a hiatus after the current season. So, if this will be his last season in charge of Manchester City, he would want to make it memorable.
That is why he wants to make sure he has the right players in place to take charge of the Premier League and other important trophies throughout the season.
So, Guardiola wants to get rid of the players who are not ready to play the way he wants.
Thus, if a player is told that he will not get enough game time and the player shows willingness to leave, Guardiola will not stand in the way of the player.
Pep is following the same principle for Savinho, who has been a target for Tottenham Hotspur.
Also, the Turkish giants, Galatasaray, are showing interest in Ederson. Pep is open to letting the Brazilian goalkeeper leave if he wishes to make that move.
Now, another Manchester City player is attracting interest from Galatasaray. According to Fabrizio Romano, Manuel Akanji has become a subject of interest from Galatasaray.
Manchester City is open to letting the player leave. Just like other deals, the Manuel Akanji to Galatasaray deal depends on the defender now.
