Guardiola wants to fish at Santiago Bernabéu due to several departures from Manchester City

The coach of the English team could lose players like Bernardo Silva or Kevin de Bruyne this summer.

Manchester City Hasn't Experienced a 24/25 Season as Many Expected. Rodrigo Hernández's injury seems to have disrupted all of Pep Guardiola's plans, who doesn't seem to have the key to the team's competitive recovery. Especially in the two most important competitions each season, the Premier League and the Champions League.

The team under the tactical command of the Catalan coach had an irregular league phase in the new Champions League format. Therefore, they were forced to face Real Madrid to advance to the round of 16, a challenge they were unable to achieve in that two-legged match. Their defeat at Santiago Bernabéu, where the white team was far superior, was an unexpected setback.

A Similar Situation Occurs in the Premier League. The accumulated defeats in the top English competition have made Pep Guardiola start thinking about entering the Champions League next year: only the top four qualify. Their latest recorded defeat, against Nottingham Forest, considerably complicates the realization of that goal, especially if Chelsea manages to win against Leicester City this same matchday.

It Seems Clear That in the Noble Area of Etihad Stadium They Are Already Thinking About the Next Season. Manchester City's first team could undergo significant changes for the 25/26 season, causing Pep Guardiola to be left without two key players in the midfield. The departures of Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva have been the most talked about in recent weeks.

Luxury and Tremendously Ideal Signing

Manchester City's '17' Is Increasingly Far from Renewing a contract that ends this very summer. Bernardo Silva leaves similar impressions: it's not the first timethat the Portuguese '20' seeks an exit from Manchester City in recent seasons. To replace those possible departures from his squad, Pep Guardiola has chosen a player who currently occupies a place in the Santiago Bernabéu stadium locker room.

The sky blue coach's choice is Eduardo Camavinga. Real Madrid's current '6' is a versatile midfielder, combining game destruction and the football awareness necessary to start attacking plays at the base of the scheme. The French pivot, however, isn't experiencing his best season as a Madridist due to inconsistent performance and three injury breaks.

While it's true that Carlo Ancelotti still counts on him for the most challenging moments of this season, Eduardo Camavinga has a lot of work ahead to regain lost ground. The last two months of the current football campaign would be key in that regard... also thinking about his possible departure toward Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City Seems to Have Made Their Interest in Signing This Stopper from Real Madrid Clear. In the Valdebebas offices, for now, they categorically refuse such an idea: Camavinga is a player of great importance in the construction of future sports projects.
