England fears that Manchester City will not make signings in January

Manchester City faces its first crisis in years. With Pep Guardiola the first where up to four games are lost consecutively in different competitions. For England, they fear that the skyblues will not be able to make signings in January to replace Rodri. The objective is clear, but it is linked with various moments that will mark the future of 2025 in the United Kingdom.

Martin Zubimendi aims to be the one chosen by Pep Guardiola and company for this task. Media like The Sun They affirm that the Real Sociedad player is the one targeted by the Manchester City coaching staff to alleviate Rodri’s loss that is noticeable every day. Not only its clause 60 million euros is an impediment when analyzing the operation through the British Isles.

Portals like The Telegraph They give the key to everything. There is talk of a January 2025 where Manchester City appears forced to invest what was not spent in the summer. But let’s not forget that it also marks the date where the plot and the trial with the Premier will come to an end. It is feared that Zubimendi will reject everything when he can see himself in a club sanctioned even with relegation months later: “The issue is whether he or any other player City come into contact with between now and the end of the season will want to wait for the 115 charge case to be resolved.”

“Imagine that the Warriors lose Curry or Barcelona in their prime without Messi. They should be less strong. Well, that happens at Manchester City. It is irreplaceable. “But we have to move forward.” Even Pep Guardiola described what it meant to lose his central midfielder. One without which Manchester City has conceded 10 of its 13 goals in the Premier and with which the former Barcelona coach It is currently signing its worst season in the first division with just 62.97% of the points obtained. You have to find a solution and for many this is found in San Sebastián.

A place where the Premier already looked for Zubimendi. We talk about Rodri’s replacement in the last final of the Euro Cup of Nations . Also from a player that Liverpool was one signature away from securing their project. The Basque rejected everything, he wants Real Sociedad to receive 60 million euros from his termination clause and let’s not forget that even Barcelona has found it impossible to seduce him in the short term. Martin is the top candidate according to the media, as well as a fear that several stars will refuse to join City due to their extra-sports plots.
