Football — 12/11/2024

It has been a disappointing campaign for Manchester City following Rodri’s season-ending ACL injury, which has disrupted Pep Guardiola’s team balance. Consequently, the club is expected to target at least one midfielder in the January transfer window. However, the focus may not solely be on new signings, as several key players face uncertain futures and could depart in 2025.

Điều bất thường là Guardiola đã đổ một phần lỗi lầm cho các cầu thủ của mình khi ông than thở về màn trình diễn của từng cá nhân

Ederson (Goalkeeper)
Ederson’s illustrious tenure at Manchester City seems to be nearing its end. The Brazilian was linked with a summer exit, but no transfer materialized. This season, he has lost his starting position to Stefan Ortega, which has likely been frustrating for the 31-year-old. While City would prefer not to lose him in January, interest from Saudi clubs could resurface.

Josh Wilson-Esbrand (Left-back)
The 21-year-old has been part of City’s first team but has struggled for playing time. As a traditional left-back, he doesn’t fully align with Guardiola’s style. After loan spells at Coventry, Stade Reims, and Cardiff, another temporary move in January seems probable for more consistent minutes.

Kyle Walker (Right-back)
As the captain, Kyle Walker’s significance has diminished this season. At 34, he is no longer the explosive full-back of his earlier years, despite still possessing impressive speed. Speculation about his departure has increased, with a potential return to Sheffield United being discussed as a fairytale ending to his career.

James McAtee (Attacking Midfielder)
After a promising loan at Sheffield United last season, McAtee was expected to feature prominently for City. However, he has struggled to secure regular minutes, even with Kevin De Bruyne’s injury issues. Premier League clubs, including Wolves and Crystal Palace, are reportedly interested in signing him in January.

Jack Grealish (Winger)
Jack Grealish enjoyed a successful season during City’s historic treble win but has since struggled to regain his form. He has become a peripheral figure, primarily appearing as a substitute. Speculation regarding his future has persisted for over a year, and many Premier League teams would likely welcome such a talented player.
