Pep Guardiola apparently stated that he is willing to allow the star walk on, which led to the announcement of the two teams that are reportedly interested in making a deal for Phil Foden.
Since making his Manchester City senior debut in November 2017, Foden has become one of the team’s most vital members and helped the team win everything.
Despite playing more than 300 games for the defending Premier League winners, the 24-year-old is one of four players that City manager Guardiola has banned from the team, indicating that he is willing to let them go if a better offer comes up.
Two major European teams have expressed interest in Foden in light of this, and when the transfer window reopens in the summer, they may make bold moves.
Even though many of City’s best players had a poor season, Football365 reports that Guardiola has only approved the departure of four important players: Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, and—perhaps most unexpectedly—Foden.
Although it seems unlikely that Silva, De Bruyne, and Gundogan would be able to improve their performances enough to warrant their enormous salaries now that they are all over 30, it seems Guardiola has also become weary of Foden despite his youth.
According to the report, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich would both think about making a serious run for the Englishman’s signing if it turns out that he is for sale in the future.
According to the research, Phil Foden is the biggest surprise on this blacklist. Despite being one of City’s most crucial players in recent years, the young player’s future is no longer up for debate, according to people close to the team.
“Guardiola thinks his position on the team might change, and City would give selling it serious consideration if a big offer came up.
“Foden’s future might turn into one of the best soap operas available if Real Madrid and Bayern Munich pay attention to their predicament.
“Guardiola trusts him, but in City they know that an offer of more than 150 million euros could make them change their minds.”
The Catalan manager has frequently expressed his respect for Foden and his skills, but even while the article says he still believes in the midfield player, his readiness to let him leave the team may indicate that his confidence in Foden has been damaged by recent performances.
