Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been linked with a move away from the club in the last few months.
Pep Guardiola has done exceptionally well since taking over at Manchester City, and he has helped them win every major trophy. According to a report from the Daily Mirror, Manchester City are now preparing for contingencies should the Spanish manager decide to move on next summer.
They are prepared to spend around £300 million to offset Pep Guardiola’s departure. They will probably look to sign top-class players so that they can continue to compete at the highest level.
There is no doubt that Manchester City have the resources to buy the best players in the world, and they could create a formidable side. However, Guardiola brings a lot to the table as a manager and replacing him is a near-impossible job.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss is undoubtedly the best manager in the world, and his departure will certainly weaken Manchester city. It will be interesting to see how the Premier League giants handle his departure.
Manchester City have an ambitious project, and they will be looking to win trophies every season. They will need to bring in a top-class manager who can continue the legacy Pep Guardiola has created at the Premier League club.
Replacing Guardiola would be a massive challenge
Manchester City have dominated English football for years, and it remains to be seen whether they can sustain that level of performance after the departure of the Spanish manager as well. They have a top-class team at their disposal, and spending another £300 million will only improve it further. It will be interesting to see if they can plug some of the gaps in their side and build a better team for the upcoming seasons.
Manchester City should look to target a versatile attacker, a left-back and a quality defensive midfielder. They are well stocked in the other areas of the squad. Recent reports have linked them with players like Alphonso Davies, Bryan Mbeumo, and Joshua Kimmich.
It will be interesting to see if Guardiola decides to move on in 2025. Manchester City will certainly try their best to keep him at the club for as long as possible, and they will be able to offer him a lucrative contract as well.
