At the end of the 23/24 season, Manchester City won the championship as expected, but for Guardiola, this is another start. In the new season, Manchester City has to prepare for the future, and the change of midfield has reached an imminent moment, because seat B and Debroune are at risk of leaving the team. In fact, Manchester City already had a plan. Guardiola hoped to win the West Ham United's Pacquita. However, an official announcement from the FA broke the calm: Pacquita was accused of violating the rules.
On the evening of May 23, the FA announced that Pacquita was suspected of anti Bo regulations and the Brazilian midfielder was accused of violating the regulations. He must respond before June 3, but can apply for an extension. In the accusation, Paquita is suspected of deliberately taking cards in three games, thus affecting the game process, and is suspected of making profits for others. The FA has investigated this matter for more than a year, and now finally has a conclusion. For Manchester City, they should be glad that no deal was concluded in the last summer window.
This is a serious accident. If Pacquita is convicted, he will face serious punishment, and will be suspended for a few months. Newcastle United and Brentford are typical victims, who are deeply affected by the violations of Tony Tonelli and Ivan Toni. Newcastle United were even more angry because Tony Tonelli was suspended just after he joined the team, so the senior management shouted to the outside world that this incident ruined the whole season.
Obviously, Manchester City will put aside the negotiation of Pacquita, and everything is dangerous until the result is reached. Interestingly, Pacquita's team had been urging the FA to release the results quickly so that players could enter the transfer market smoothly. Now, the results come out, and Pacquita's side is afraid that it is difficult to deal with and solve in a short time. With the summer window approaching, all plans will be changed, and Manchester City and Pacquita should have no chance to cooperate.
For Guardiola, this is a modest blow, because he has always wanted Pacquita. Fortunately, Guardiola also has Plan B, which is Guimaraes of Newcastle United. From the perspective of football style, Paquita is more suitable for Manchester City, because he can replace Debrouane well, and Guimaraes is more defensive.
However, the middle back is also very important for Manchester City. Don't expect Rodriguez to still have such a high attendance rate in the next season. To go one step further, Guimaraes is not bad in attack. He has contributed 7 goals and 10 assists this season, which is better than Paquita. However, there are too many teams who want Guimaraes, and his liquidated damages of 100 million pounds is not a small amount.
In fact, the real big deal is still in 2025, which is the Wiltz that Guardiola has always dreamed of. If Wertz had not insisted on staying at Leverkusen, Manchester City would have spent money to snatch it. In the long run, Wiltz is the most suitable successor of Debrouane. German stars are not only young but also have a huge room for growth. Of course, Wiltz is not easy to compete because Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have also targeted him. In addition, Alonso's presence makes him seem closer to the Spanish giants.
