Agent says Tottenham star would be perfect for Manchester City

Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky Van de Ven has emerged as a standout performer in his debut Premier League season, seamlessly integrating into Ange Postecoglou’s XI.

The Dutch centre-back has made an immediate impact, transforming the defence and forming a formidable partnership at the back with Cristian Romero.

Van de Ven’s exceptional performances have not gone unnoticed, with recent reports suggesting that defending champions Manchester City are eyeing a potential move for the 23-year-old.

Dutch agent Simon Cziommer believes that some of the biggest clubs in world football, including Pep Guardiola’s City, could soon be vying for Van de Ven’s signature.

Cziommer, describing him as a dream signing for Guardiola, noted (as quoted by TEAMtalk):

“I think if he continues like this, he would not be out of place at City. Guardiola plays with seven, eight men in front of the ball, leaving you with one/two defenders at the back. Then you need speed and duelling power. And Van de Ven has that.”

Despite Manchester City already boasting a robust defensive line-up with players like Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, and Nathan Ake, their interest in Van de Ven underscores the Dutch defender’s exceptional talent.

Van de Ven has been a consistent presence for Tottenham, starting 26 out of the 27 league games he was available for this season and scoring three goals.

Moreover, Van de Ven’s speed has set him apart. In February, he was recorded as the fastest player in the Premier League, clocking a top speed of 37.38 km/h against Brentford, according to Sky Sports data.

TBH Says:
It is crazy to even think that Tottenham will be entertaining any offers for Van de Ven, given his impressive debut season.

However, if and only if they were to, they would likely demand at least double the €40 million they paid Wolfsburg last summer.

Man City 115 charges: Big news on hearing date – sources

UK
Man City have learned that their hearing against the 115 financial charges will likely be held in October after months of delays.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that City are contesting the charges which is why the situation has been kicked down the road, although it remains a complex case.

Man City were charged with 115 breaches of financial rules, with those charges having been recently broken down, and O’Rourke revealed they will face a hearing later this year.

While no exact date has been set for the hearing, both Everton and Nottingham Forest’s cases were dealt with swiftly, and City are now next on the list.

The issue remains a cloud hanging over Pep Guardiola’s squad and they will be keen to end any speculation.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters claimed on 26 April that “a date has been set” for proceedings and “the case will resolve itself at some point in the near future”.

Man City told ‘It doesn’t look good’ as 115 charges contested
It is also said that there is little certainty surrounding the charges towards City or any possible outcome given the inconsistency in punishments handed to Everton and Forest.

As a result of one charge, Forest were handed a four-point deduction, while Everton received an initial ten-point deduction which was later reduced to six, before a second charge landed them a further two points taken off.

Txiki Begiristain says Man City ‘animal’ is unlike anyone else at the club

Txiki Begiristain has heaped praise on one Manchester City player for the way he has evolved at the club.

The Citizens could end their latest season with another Premier League and FA Cup added to their cabinet.

If they beat West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, they’ll become the first side to win four Premier League titles in a row.

After that, the Blues will once again face off against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup final.

With these two crucial games left to play before the season ends, Begiristain has had the chance to share his praise for one particular figure in City’s squad who has played a big part in getting the team into the position they’re currently in.

Speaking on stage at the FWA awards in London on Thursday night, Begiristain had this to say about Phil Foden and what he represents for the club.

He said: “He is a good example for us. We try to convince the other players to follow him.

“Of course, it’s an award for him and his teammates but I think this is a special award for Manchester City’s academy. He represents all that.

“A player who loves football, is from Stockport and is enjoying and being professional and adapting himself to the way we want to play.

“I’ve been here for 11 years so I’ve seen everything of him. He is unbelievable. He loves football. He loves to stay on the pitch. He is the happiest man. He is the first to go on the pitch, the last one going out. Sometimes we have to tell him [to stop training].

“Because of the players we have and the team, he has been sacrificing himself for the team by playing in wide areas. He is already asking to play more central. To have a player who can play wide and is performing and producing his best is a privilege for us.

“His progression has been unbelievable. He is 23 and I would say he is getting to the top. Phil has always played in the fastest way. I think he is now getting the maturity of when he has to accelerate the game and when to play more calm and composed and to keep possession. He is maturing on that.

“He is 23 years old and he has won trophies like an animal.”

Foden is City’s best representative
After emerging through the youth ranks at City, the 23-year-old has gone on to make 268 senior appearances since making his debut back in 2017 at the age of 17.

Since then, Foden has scored 85 goals, delivered 52 assists and won a lot of trophies along the way including five Premier League titles.

Having now scored 25 goals and delivered 11 assists in 51 appearances this season, it’s easy to see why he was named the FWA Men’s Player of the Year and why Begiristain thinks so highly of him and how he represents the club.

Man City MAKE CONTACT with £100m midfielder’s entourage over summer deal

Manchester City have now made contact with the entourage of Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes over the terms of a blockbuster summer transfer, according to reports in Spain, following on from our exclusive report earlier this week that the English champions were mulling over paying the player’s release clause.

The 26-year-old has been a bright spot in a disappointing season for the Magpies, as they struggle to replicate the form which saw them qualify for the Champions League for the first time in two decades last term.

Guimaraes has scored three goals in 27 Premier League matches for the Toon during this campaign, and added five assists for his side.

The form of the Brazilian international has led to talk of a move to one of English football’s biggest clubs with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United previously credited with interest.

Man City contact Guimaraes over £100m summer move
And now AS is reporting that Pep Guardiola’s City side are prepared to meet a £100 million buyout clause in Guimaraes’ Newcastle contract in order to get him out of St. James’ Park.

It follows our FootballTransfers report early this week which revealed that the treble winners were considering paying his buyout in full.

As part of the operation, claims the Spanish sports daily, the club have already sounded out his representatives, initiating contact ahead of the summer window.

Guardiola is seeking a proven option in the centre of midfield to go alongside Rodri having seen Kalvin Phillips fail to make the grade in that position.

Guimaraes has been a shining light for his side since first moving to the Premier League in January 2022 from Lyon for a fee of €20m.

He recently signed a new and improved five-year contract with the club, meaning any interested parties are going to have to pay big money to secure his signature.

Newcastle face City in the FA Cup this weekend with Guardiola being asked on Friday about Guimaraes – one of his club’s potential summer transfer targets.

“Exceptional holding midfielder; aggressive, with the ball he has pause, in set pieces he is aggressive,” the Spaniard said.

“Now Newcastle wants to grow and I am quite sure that it is part of their project for the next few years, definitely.”

Douglas Luiz and Joshua Kimmich also on City list
Two other names on the list for City include Joshua Kimmich, Bayern Munich’s unsettled midfield star who previously worked under Pep, and Douglas Luiz, who signed for City before moving to Aston Villa and becoming a Premier League mainstay.

Guimaraes has also attracted attention from European giants in the shape of Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

It is reportedly the player’s dream to one day play for Barca but their precarious finances mean they will only have €80m to spend this summer and will need to sell players before they make a splash in the market.

Manchester City face exodus: SIX players could exit with Pep Guardiola
By Joe Mewis published 1 hour ago
As Pep Guardiola completes his eighth season at Manchester City, speculation over a future exit date grows

Pep Guardiola is about to complete his eighth season in charge of Manchester City and knows that victory in the next three matches will seal a record fourth consecutive Premier League title and a sixth championship of his reign.

This is now by far the longest Guardiola has stayed with one club, easily outstripping the four years he managed Barcelona and the three seasons in which he was at the helm of Bayern Munich. But how much longer will the 53-year-old remain at the Etihad for? Guardiola’s current contract expires at the end of 2025 and rumours are growing that this is the date he will say farewell to the club.

If Guardiola does call it a day in 12 months time, will any of his City players take that as the opportunity to follow him out of the door? Here is a look at the players who could potentially do just that.

The Manchester City exodus: 1. Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne
Like Guardiola, Kevin De Bruyne’s contract is set to expire in 2025, when the Belgian playmaker will be almost 34 years old.

While City fans would love to see their talisman go on forever and his influence shows few signs of diminishing, Father Time’s influence could be the crucial factor here.

2. Stefan Ortega

The only other player whos deal expires in 2025 is backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. A year older than City’s No.1 Ederson, the German may have to move on if he wants regular first-team football before his peak years end.

3. Kyle Walker

Kyle Walker
The England defender signed a new deal at the club last summer to end Bayern Munich’s hopes of signing him, meaning he is under contract until 2026.

But the German side are rumoured to be back in for him and at the age of 33, if Walker does want to join his former teammate Harry Kane in Bavaria or head out for another new challenge, the clock is ticking.

4. Erling Haaland
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland

Last year’s Golden Boot winner is under contract until 2027, but as long as he keeps scoring at a record-breaking pace, Europe’s biggest clubs will always be interested in signing him.

While Haaland looks to be happy in Manchester, a future Guardiola departure could be the catalyst for one of his potential suitors to make a move, amid a reported £170million release clause.

5. Jack Grealish

(Image credit: Getty Images)
If next season is to be Pep’s final campaign in Manchester, Jack Grealish will want to bounce back from what has been a stop-start year this time out, as a series of injuries have limited his action.

Like Haaland, Grealish is safely under contract until 2027, but a parting of ways with Guardiola may see one of the winger’s admirers move for him.

6. Bernardo Silva
Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva

Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva
The Portuguese has a reported £50million release clause in his deal that runs until 2026 and at the age of 29, would probably have one more big move in him, should he fancy a new challenge.

One of Guardiola’s favourite players, Silva could see a future Pep exit (Pexit, anyone?) as the chance to try his luck in Italy or Spain.
