Pep Guardiola glad for start of Man City's 115 charges hearing

Pep Guardiola was asked about the hearing ahead of Saturday’s home game with Brentford.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola speaks in the current FFP violation saga hearing. The Spaniard admitted that he is glad that a hearing into City’s 115 charges for alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules will begin on Monday.

Manchester City have been charged with 115 breaches of its financial rules between 2009 and 2018. The Cityzens refused to accept ant violation under FFP.

Pep Guardiola tried to avoid any conversation on this matter and focused on the game instead. He was asked about the hearing ahead of Saturday’s home game with Brentford.

Pep Guardiola said that he is happy that hearing will start and he will welcome the decision. He speaks to reports, “It starts soon and hopefully finishes soon. An independent panel will decide and I am looking forward to the decision.

“I’m happy it’s starting on Monday. I know there will be more rumours, new specialists about the sentences. We’re going to see. I know what people are looking forward to, what they expect, I know, what I read for many, many years. Everybody is innocent until guilt is proven. So we’ll see.”

The hearing for this case is set to run for around 10 weeks with a final verdict and any subsequent appeal expected before the end of the season. Meanwhile, La Liga president Javier Tebas feels most Premier League sides want to see Man City punished.

James McAtee: Most Promising Manchester City Players Out On Loan — Bildbyran

At Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne’s future is unclear. With less than a year left on his contract, the 32-year-old was linked to a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia during the transfer window. De Bruyne addressed his future after Saturday’s 3-1 victory over West Ham, saying he hasn’t been “entertained” by rumours that he would leave City. The international player from Belgium also stated that he is “sure” that negotiations for a potential new contract will take place in the upcoming weeks.

Pep Guardiola needs to consider making plans for life without the superstar, even though it appears that De Bruyne intends to stay at City. In order to replace De Bruyne in the long run, City may consider purchasing a new No.10, or they may choose to look within, where James McAtee may be able to fill the job.

Man City set to offer James McAtee new deal after turning down summer offers

Pep Guardiola made a calculated decision to keep youthful potential in the squad when Manchester City decided to hold onto James McAtee in spite of strong interest from other teams. After rejecting offers of up to £30 million during the summer transfer window, Manchester City is prepared to extend a contract to midfielder James McAtee.

McAtee had been on loan at Sheffield United for the previous two seasons, but he will be in Pep Guardiola’s squad for the remainder of the current season and beyond. Guardiola lauded McAtee’s exceptional skills, particularly his ability to attack the last third of the field and his efficacy in confined places.

Manchester City duo hit out at ‘absolutely absurd’ football calendar — Bildbyrån

Manchester City will have a busy schedule this season after increasing number of matches.

Manchester City duo Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva expressed their views on the busy football calendar and called it ‘absolutely absurd’. Both players are currently on national duty and are taking part in Nations League.

The number of matches have been increased this season, thanks to UEFA who changed the schedule of the Champions League with 8 group stage matches. This new format will give more games to play.

The FIFA Club World Cup will also return next summer with an updated version with 32 teams will take part in Saudi Arabia. Apart from this, players also take part in international games for UEFA and FIFA.

While talking during a recent press conference on international duty with Portugal, Bernardo Silva has hit out at football calendar. He said, “The schedule is completely crazy. We’ve just received the news that we only have one day off for the English League Cup game.”

Manchester City will take on Watford after just one day rest following a Premier League meeting with Arsenal this month.

He also added, “We’ll probably play every three days for months. It’s been absolutely absurd. In the Champions League, if you don’t qualify for the round of 16 you still have to play two more games.”

“It’s true that the squads are bigger, but I’m not going to say that it’s easy. It hasn’t been easy. I spend very little time with my family and friends. The amount of games we’re subjected to is absolutely absurd.”

Kevin De Bruyne also joined it and shared his views during the national duty with Belgium. He said, “The problem is that UEFA and FIFA are making extra matches. I think the problem will come when we finish the Club World Cup.”

He added, “We know there will only be three weeks between the Club World Cup final and the first day of the Premier League. You have three weeks to take a vacation, and prepare to play another 80 games.

“We can try to say something, no solution has been found. They don’t care. It’s money that talks.”

Man City Ready to Hand Pep Guardiola £100M for January Transfer Moves

Manchester City is reportedly set to hand Pep Guardiola a £100 million transfer budget ahead of the January window, as the club eyes two significant additions to bolster their attacking options.

Despite a relatively quiet summer that saw City offload Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid and welcome back Ilkay Gundogan from Barcelona, Guardiola refrained from major squad overhauls.

However, things could change come January. City is believed to be targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s rising star Florian Wirtz and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala.

Both players have caught the attention of Europe’s top clubs, but City are said to be preparing bids that could break the bank.

Wirtz, a versatile playmaker, has impressed in the Bundesliga, making him a hot property in the market.

Leverkusen managed to hold on to him during the summer, but City could tempt them with a significant offer.

Meanwhile, Musiala has long been admired by Guardiola, but prying him away from Bayern Munich would require a substantial fee and the player’s willingness to leave.

City’s decision to spend big in January underlines their intent to strengthen their squad ahead of crucial Champions League and Premier League battles.

Guardiola has so far put faith in his current roster, but with fresh funds, he could change his approach as the season progresses.

As Manchester City looks to maintain its domestic dominance and push for European glory, the winter window could bring about the next phase of Guardiola’s evolution at the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola hints at Man City exit after Premier League win — Bildbyrån

This winter, Christian McFarlane is expected to depart from New York City FC and join Manchester City, a sister club. Manchester City has an agreement in place to sign the 17-year-old, according to a report by Fabrizio Romano. According to reports, McFarlane turned down offers from Brighton and a minimum of one German team. As far as Transfermarkt is aware, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were those two German teams.

The England international was anticipated to sign with Manchester City, according to earlier reports from Tom Bogert and Sam Lee in March, but no contract had been agreed upon or signed as of yet. McFarlane, who is 17 years old, would wait to join the Premier League until he is 18. The left-back has started all four of NYCFC’s recent games, including the League Cup stalemate between NYCFC and Queretaro. After winning a penalty shootout, the MLS team received a point.

Manchester City closing in on another signing from MLS

In the upcoming days and weeks, the English Premier League team will try to finalize his deal. Whether he leaves the MLS team right now or stays on is still up in the air because the conditions of the contract have not been completed. Among those who did not play in Manchester in recent memory, Valentin Castellanos stands out the most.

The attacker participated in the winning NYCFC MLS Cup campaign and spent a season on loan at CFG outfit Girona. According to Bogert, McFarlane ought to be given the chance to develop and earn a spot in the Man City starting lineup.

Phil Foden withdraws from England squad due to illness

Manchester City’s star midfielder, Phil Foden, has withdrawn from the England squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland and Finland due to illness.

The England football association confirmed the news yesterday, revealing that Foden would not be joining Lee Carsley’s squad.

Foden’s absence from international duty comes as no surprise, considering his recent struggles with health. The 24-year-old has already missed Manchester City’s last two fixtures because of the same illness.

This withdrawal gives him crucial time to recuperate and regain full fitness ahead of City’s Premier League clash with Brentford after the international break.

The timing of Foden’s withdrawal offers Manchester City a silver lining. Without the additional strain of international fixtures, he can focus on a full recovery and return to the pitch at his best.

Pep Guardiola had hinted at Foden’s likely absence from the England squad following City’s victory over West Ham, so the news, while disappointing for England fans, aligns with previous expectations.

For England, the absence of Foden, along with fellow dropouts Cole Palmer and Ollie Watkins, presents an opportunity for other players to step up.

However, the Three Lions will miss Foden’s creativity and flair as they face Ireland and Finland in crucial Nations League encounters.

As Foden rests and recovers, Manchester City and their fans will be hopeful that the talented midfielder returns to full fitness soon, ready to contribute to a busy schedule in the Premier League.
