Manchester City Playermaker Kevin De Bruyne has left Manchester City this morning to join shocking Saudi Arabia Club

Pep Guardiola hasn’t appeared to be in the mood to speak during past press conferences. He had a lot to say after Manchester City’s triumph over Bournemouth, admitting that his players were exhausted. However, on the whole, he has depicted a manager who is tired of dealing with the media on a daily basis.

Given the weary comments, expectations for the FA Cup preview for the Luton trip were low. But Guardiola has the ability to surprise people, and he was in a much better mood when chatting to the cameras about City’s “defining” fixture list in March, Jack Grealish’s fitness, and how teams like Arsenal and Liverpool have been enjoying their recent success.

Guardiola was equally as verbose during the embargoed press conference. He refrained to comment directly on Kevin De Bruyne’s future or Jurgen Klopp’s replacement at Liverpool, but what he did say was noteworthy for the City manager.

Bruyne’s ties with Saudi Arabia
It was only a matter of time before Kevin De Bruyne became the next superstar linked with a Saudi Pro League move. He matches the criteria because he is well-known, over thirty, and may be looking for one final big payment before retiring. Guardiola reiterated that he wanted his talisman to stay and end his career at the Etihad, but he also encouraged journalists to ask the Belgian directly about the authenticity of the allegations.

The manager said, “It’s a question for him; I’d like for him to stay, but I’m not sure.” “I’ve heard some rumors, but I’m not sure if Saudi Arabia wants him or if there’s a deal. Though everyone is everyone, I would love for him to stay till the end of his career.”

It has traditionally been City’s policy to enable players to depart if they receive an appropriate offer. Aymeric Laporte and Riyad Mahrez both left the Etihad Stadium for Saudi Arabia this summer, spending a total of £55 million. De Bruyne’s contract with City finishes in 2025, when he would have turned 34.

Later, Guardiola praised his former Bayern Munich midfielder’s work at Bayer Leverkusen, but declined to comment on rumours linking Xabi Alonso to the Anfield role. The manager praised the player’s flawless record in all competitions with Leverkusen, saying, “If you ask me what job he’s doing, honestly… Wow.” “He was a really clever player. “What a perceptive athlete.”

Guardiola went on to say that because of Alonso’s talent as a player, he had always expected he would move into management. He stated: “You understand that if this individual retires and sits at home, he will be annoyed and have nothing to do, so he will say, ‘OK, I’m going back, my business is word football.

Bobb spends excessively.
Oscar Bobb’s new deal was formally confirmed Monday night. Guardiola had already told the young player to appreciate his wage raise earlier in the afternoon. He quickly changed his mind, although he was praised for becoming the first player to break through the academy and make it into the starting lineup.

“Without application he would not be here, his commitment, work ethic,” Guardiola went on to say. “This is the most difficult thing for Oscar right now. The most straightforward is to simply show up, make an impact, and perform. The genuinely difficult one is to stay around for a long time and play well in order to earn more money and more minutes, both of which earn money!

De Bruyne readied to begin.
Kevin De Bruyne is set to start again for City, which is fantastic news for Fantasy Football managers—even if the team that comes up next is in the Cup. Guardiola acknowledged that De Bruyne was sitting out the Bournemouth match for tactical reasons by saying: “At the beginning his restart was completely different than with Erling, who needed time, it was a bone (injury), Kevin was muscular, out for four or five months,”

Because of Bournemouth’s style of play, I suggested staying on the bench and possibly playing in the second half. “After he needed minutes and minutes, after he played two or three from the beginning and after he had a little setback through.”
