“They told me they are ready to pay any amount for him but I told them he’s not for sale”: Man city coach Pep Guardiola has revealed how the club rejected an eye-catching bid for ‘world-class’ superstar few days ago
Manchester City Rejects Huge Bid for ‘World-Class’ Superstar, Pep Guardiola Reveals
In a recent press conference, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola opened up about a major transfer offer that was rejected by the club just a few days ago. Guardiola revealed that a prominent club made a significant bid for one of City’s star players, but despite the lucrative offer, the player in question was never going to be sold.
Guardiola stated, “They told me they are ready to pay any amount for him, but I told them he’s not for sale.” While the Spanish coach did not name the player, the comments suggest that the player is a key figure within the squad, with Guardiola categorizing him as a “world-class” talent.
The timing of the offer is particularly noteworthy, given Manchester City’s ongoing dominance in both domestic and international competitions. The club is known for its robust approach to maintaining the quality and depth of its squad, and Guardiola’s comments highlight the club’s unwavering stance when it comes to protecting their top players.
Many speculated that the bid could have been made by one of Europe’s top clubs, with several teams continually monitoring City’s standout performers. However, Guardiola was quick to emphasize that no amount of money would sway City’s commitment to their player, further strengthening the club’s reputation for prioritizing sporting success over financial gain.
The manager’s remarks also underscore the high regard in which the club holds their player, signaling their intent to keep hold of him for the foreseeable future. Guardiola has consistently praised his squad’s depth, and by rejecting the bid, he is making it clear that City has no intention of weakening its squad mid-season, particularly in a year with both the Premier League and European titles in sight.
As the transfer window continues to stir speculation, Manchester City fans will be pleased to know that their club’s approach remains focused on the long-term success of the team, rather than cashing in on their best players. With Guardiola’s leadership and the squad’s quality, City looks set to remain one of the most formidable sides in Europe for years to come.
