Manchester City is honestly not going to care too much if Gündoğan stays or leaves, to be honest. Because Manchester City has enough money to buy another player like him or even better. Manchester City can replace almost any player except for Eling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Phil Foden. The others are replaceable in my opinion.
I think Mateo Kovacic is a good replacement for Gündoğan. Quite similar levels of players as well. I must say that Pep Guardiola is doing a good job with Manchester City. I think Manchester City is not going to face too much problems as well going into the Champions League competition with him. The strength of Manchester City is that they can actually repeat players quite easily.
Maybe, but what you say is not entirely true. because, the problem is not easy to bring in a replacement for IIkay Gundohan who left for Barcelona. IMO, Gundohan is a smart player and also has the experience requirements with the potential he has. so, it doesn't mean that Man City doesn't care about Gundohan's departure this season. in fact, Gundohan turned down offers to renew his contract with TheCitizen. automatically, Pep must find a replacement candidate who has almost the same characteristics as Gundohan. because, Pep needs players who have high mobility with the system he implements.
But we agree on one thing, that Manchester City can bring in younger and great players with the money they have. unfortunately, not many players have almost the same characteristics as Gundohan. Now, Pep has signed Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea. maybe, Pep will make this one player an ideal replacement for Gundohan's position. Pep just needs to polish it, to make Mateo Kovacic reveal the potential and talent he has. but for sure, we'll see how it goes when Mateo Kovacic plays his match with his new squad. But anyway, we agree that City are still the favourites.
