The latest signals appear as players focus with the national team prepare for the 2026 World Cup. Asked about the future in Man City, Gvindiol claims he is satisfied with life at Etihad but offers no guarantee of continuing to stay attached.
Croatian rear guard said he had heard rumors of transfers from various sides. Twenty-four-year-old player claims he is happy in Man City, which meets all the conditions required to develop his career. However, Gvindiol also left open to change after the World Cup when it said that things would be considered after the tournament was over.
This speech immediately attracted attention by Gvindiol as a basis for Man City's future. Joining the 2023 summer team with a fee of about 77 million pounds (104 million), Croatian Guard quickly became the key factor in the line. You can compete in both the guard and the left, play 122 games and score 13 goals for the club.
The previous season, Gvindiol had difficulty breaking his leg in 19026. The injury caused him to quit the game for more than four months before returning to the Crystal Palace win at the end of the season. Even so, he recovered to be on the Croatian list for the World Cup. According to Spanish media, Barca and Bayern Munich are targeting their 24-year-old rear guard.
Not only Gvindiol, Rodri also makes the Man City fans low. The Spanish quarterback currently has a one-year contract but has not yet agreed to an extension although the club has repeatedly offered new signing offers.
When asked about rumors associated with Real Madrid, Rodri avoided giving a definitive answer. Golden Ball Master 2024 states that he focuses only on the role of the leader of the Spanish Draft at the 2026 World Cup, and will consider other issues after the tournament.
This was not the first time Rodri opened the ability to change in the future. Back in March 3,026, the 29-year-old quarterback once admitted it was hard to refuse the world's leading clubs. That speech increased the weight of the speculations regarding Real Madrid.
At Etihad, the board still believed Rodri would stay. Guardiola before leaving the training seat also expressed the hope that the students would remain attached to the team. However, having not reached an extended agreement caused increasing anxiety, when Chairman Midge Perez admired the Spanish quarterback particularly.
If Rodri and Gvindiol are gone, it will be damage to Man City. One is the middle-line brain, the other considered the future leader of the ranks. Both of them are in their prime and have a significant role in the team reconstruction plan.
Doubts of their future came about just as Man City prepared to step into the new era under the planning coach Enzo Maresca, former Guardiola assistant. The Italian coach will take over a group that is not as stable as the previous years.
Longtime servants such as Bernardo Silva and John Stones have also left the team. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the remaining forces are busy attending the World Cup, making it difficult for Maresca to work fully with the formation from the start of the season preparations.
