On the second-to-last day of the season, Pep Guardiola’s team edged out Arsenal to secure the Premier League title by a narrow margin of two points, marking their fourth consecutive league triumph.
This achievement further cements Guardiola’s legacy as one of the greatest managers in the history of English football, especially amid speculation that he might leave when his contract expires in 2025.
Rumors have been swirling about Guardiola’s potential departure, with some suggesting he could be in line for the England manager’s role after Gareth Southgate steps down. Additionally, some of Guardiola’s key players have been linked with moves away from Manchester City during the summer transfer window.
Among the players rumored to be considering an exit are Julian Alvarez, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Ederson, and Jack Grealish. These speculations have generated considerable buzz, especially with the transfer window drawing to a close.
Alvarez’s situation has attracted particular attention. Initially, it was reported that Manchester City was seeking around £60 million for the striker. However, subsequent reports indicate that the club has lowered its asking price to £40 million, aiming to move the player before the transfer window closes at the end of August.
The reason for this reduction is said to be Alvarez’s dissatisfaction with his playing time under Guardiola. The Argentine striker has expressed frustration over his limited minutes on the pitch and has hinted that he will make a decision about his future after the Olympics. This uncertainty has fueled speculation that Alvarez could be looking for a move away from the club in search of more regular playing opportunities.
