Pep Guardiola has finally had enough, and he has ordered the sale of a homegrown Manchester City talent.
After the abysmal performance in the Manchester derby, it was on the cards. Guardiola will not accept such mediocre performance from his team.
The Spanish coach was so upset that he took Erling Haaland off before full-time. And in that game, the player in question played poorly.
Manchester City are now seven points behind Arsenal in the title race. That is why they need to start performing. Otherwise, the Gunners could run away with the Premier League title.
Over the years, the Citizens’ academy produced some great talents. And, they are playing a key role in the recent success of the club.
However, some of their homegrown talents have failed to deliver to the level Pep Guardiola demands, and that is why he has sanctioned the sale of one of them.
According to Fichajes, Pep Guardiola wants Manchester City to sell Rico Lewis. The fullback has been a key squad player for the Citizens for some time.
However, when the time came to step up due to injuries to some of their key defender, he failed miserably. That is why Guardiola wants to let him go.
Also, Fulham are showing interest in Oscar Bobb. So, there is interest in Manchester City players in the market.
For Lewis, the Citizens will be aiming for a fee of around €35 million, according to the same report. So, if City do sell Lewis, then they will be looking for a replacement.
Thus, with only a few days left in the January window, there will be interest in Rico Lewis from clubs across Europe.
