English footballer Harry Kane has often been linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium and now Guardiola has shown just how persistent their search has been.
What did Guardiola say?
Man City saw four separate bids for the English player rejected by Tottenham during last year’s summer transfer window, the Spaniard revealed, with Pep Guardiola admitting he didn’t know if his side would pay for their failure to sign the England captain. Harry has been closely associated with the champions’ promotion to the PL through a busy off-season that saw his Tri Lions skipper reach the first major tournament final since 1966 at Euro 2020.
However, Tottenham have been adamant they won’t sell despite Man City’s interest and the pope’s desire to step into Champions League football – and now Pep has revealed just how insistent the Townspeople overtures were, as well as his concerns about Man City’s subsequent early form. city.
Ahead of their side’s clash with Spurs this weekend, Pep Guardiola admitted that they can now say that Kane hasn’t come and everything is going well, but Pep didn’t know that at the time. they tried, but Tottenham were sure it wouldn’t happen.
According to Guardiola, when it happens two, three, four times, it will be over. After that, they saw the detachment and were not sure. they then lost in the Spurs and against Leicester in the Community Shield. Guardiola has never given up on what the club can’t do in the transfer market. Pep has never built a fire here. When they have some kind of negotiations and they cannot agree, they do it internally.
The club is always open
Even without the Harry’s takeover, Pep stressed that he remains extremely pleased with the transfer operation on the spot at the Etihad Stadium, citing the takeover of Julian Alvarez as one such example. Guardiola added that the club is always working, it never stops. If five players say they want to leave, they should be ready. Alvarez scored three goals in the last game for Manchester City and River Plate made an incredible deal because he is a player who moves really well. He scores like Jamie Vardy. According to Guardiola, they will see what happens in the future.
Pep further paid tribute to their striker options instead of the traditional number nine, in particular Harry’s England team mate Sterling, adding that with the players they have to adapt. Raheem Sterling’s goals are a consequence of his confidence. Pep is very happy that he is back to his best.
