Pep Guardiola left blown away by ‘top-class’ player who is reportedly expected to sign for Man City

Pep Guardiola was full of praise for a player who is reportedly set to sign for Manchester City in the summer.

Throughout his time at the Etihad Stadium, Pep Guardiola has never shied away from lauding opposition players.

Whether they go on to become Manchester City signings or not.

Pep Guardiola praises “top-class” Manchester City target
The player Pep Guardiola hailed is Lucas Paqueta, who is expected to start for West Ham United against Manchester City on Sunday.

Initially, the £378,846-a-week man praised some of the Hammers’ other attackers via HaytersTV.

“All the four players up front for them for themselves can create something unexpected. [Mohammed] Kudus is an exceptional player, [Jarrod] Bowen for many years, remember [Mohamed] Salah, Bowen in many actions he does.”

Guardiola went on to praise Paqueta: “And [Michail] Antonio, you know, when he’s fit, he’s unbelievable and [Lucas] Paqueta is a top-class player in terms of, can do many, many things. So, all four from nothing, they can do something unique and special. This is all I’m concerned about right now.”

In April, it was claimed that the Brazilian’s agents expect him to sign for City in the summer.

During the same month, it was reported that the treble-winners are in talks with the West Ham talisman, who is believed to be keen on the transfer.

Lucas Paqueta will be further driven to sign for Man City now
If Lucas Paqueta is indeed eager to sign for Manchester City, his desire to do so will only increase after coming across the praise Pep Guardiola afforded him.

Paqueta, like most creative midfielders in the world would likely be dreaming about the opportunity to work alongside Guardiola.

But as a player, it surely must drive one to sign for a club where the manager appreciates their quality.

Especially if the manager in question is Pep Guardiola.

If Lucas Paqueta does sign for Manchester City, it will be interesting to see where Pep Guardiola plays him in his side.

The former Lyon midfielder could emerge as a partner for Rodri in the double pivot.

Paqueta can also operate as an attacking midfielder alongside either De Bruyne or Foden.

The 26-year-old can also provide Guardiola the chance to test him out as a makeshift winger.

Cristiano Ronaldo shares who he thinks will win the Premier League – Man City or Arsenal

Cristiano Ronaldo has predicted which team will win the Premier League on Sunday: Manchester City or Arsenal.

Having won three Premier League titles in a row at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has every right to have his say on the ongoing title race.

Manchester City currently have a two-point advantage over Arsenal and are favourites to reclaim their throne on the last day of the season.

Cristiano Ronaldo predicts which team will win the Premier League
However, as per certain permutations such as City either drawing or losing to West Ham United, the Gunners will win the title.

The job is far from done for Pep Guardiola’s men, even though they have beaten the Hammers five times in their last five outings at the Etihad Stadium.

But when Cristiano Ronaldo was quizzed about whether Manchester City or Arsenal would win the Premier League by Queensberry Promotions, he replied: “They’re [Arsenal] not going to win the league.”

The Portuguese icon has expressed his admiration for this City side in the past, admitting that he enjoys watching them play and felt they deserved to win the Champions League earlier.

The Al-Nassr talisman also got a chance to watch Arsenal at their absolute best, as he left Manchester United in the 2022/2023 season.

By the end of the campaign, Mikel Arteta’s side finished second in the league.

However, Ronaldo did face a City side who went on to win the league with 93 points.

Manchester City are the favourites, not Arsenal
Not many would disagree with Cristiano Ronaldo, who is backing Manchester City to trump Arsenal to the league title.

So far, every time City have had to win the title on the last day of the season, they have got the job done.

Whether that is comfortably by beating Brighton 4-1 in 2019 or during their heroic comeback to defeat Aston Villa 3-2 in 2022 — Manchester City get over the line by any means necessary.

Cristiano Ronaldo perhaps expects the same is in store for Manchester City, with Arsenal set to finish in second place two seasons in a row.

Pep Guardiola insists Sunday’s final day will have no bearing on his personal future at Manchester City, with the club eyeing history in the Premier League.

City can become the first side to win the English top flight for four seasons in a row with three points against West Ham and Guardiola has challenged his side to embrace the pressure of making history, telling his side they will never be in this position again.

Asked if he will still have the hunger to be back next season for the final year of his current City contract, Guardiola gave a short, sweet answer on the eve of the final day of the Premier League season.

“I have a contract, I want to be here next season, yes,” he said, referring to his deal that will expire at the end of next season in the summer of 2025.

And while Guardiola was less decisive on what could happen in the upcoming transfer window, refusing to answer before the final day, he did say the West Ham result and FA Cup final would naturally have a bearing on the decisions of some players and their futures.

“I don’t know next season. We have to see how we finish, sometimes the decision depends on how we finish the season,” he said.

“The player who has a good season, is already done. Nothing changes how the season is in the last two games. We have to wait. Now I’m not thinking for one second about next season.”

However, Guardiola did offer a stern defence of Ederson, who will miss the final two games of the season with injury. Stefan Ortega’s cameo against Tottenham on Tuesday renewed calls for the German to get more game-time, and he has admitted he could look to leave this summer.

But Guardiola reiterated that Ederson remains No.1 and will be going forward – dashing hopes of Ortega increasing his minutes next season.

“People talk about the incredible save [Ortega from Heung-min Son] because it is,” he began. “But Eddy has done it many times before with Son the same action and saved it.

“Do you know why we won the Champions League last season? Ederson, in Madrid, made incredible saves at 1-0 down or 1-1, an incredible save for the header against Benzema. He was the key player in the final to win. We cannot define this period without Eddy. Impossible.

“It was a strange period for Eddy, four times injured. A keeper four times with incredible knocks? I have never seen that. Today we have two top keepers, before was clear for first keeper and second, the distance was so big. Everybody knows. The team knows it and everybody knows it that Ederson is the first keeper but the distance is not [big]. When the distance is too big, the team cannot compete.”

Man City: Guardiola has ‘no intention’ of staying as Euro giants ‘give everything’ to land him
Lewis Oldham 10 hours ago

Could Pep Guardiola leave Manchester City?
According to reports, Pep Guardiola has ‘no intention’ of staying at Manchester City beyond 2025 and Barcelona are planning a ‘loud homecoming’.

The Spaniard is on the brink of winning his fourth Premier League title in a row as Man City will win the league if they defeat West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

Guardiola to leave Man City?
Despite this, Guardiola’s long-term future is in doubt as his contract is due to expire in 2025.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that Guardiola has already ‘communicated’ his desire to leave Man City in 2025 with Leicester City’s Enzo Maresca, Girona’s Michel and Germany’s Julen Nagelsmann mooted as potential replacements.

The Athletic‘s David Ornstein meanwhile believes a ‘decision’ is yet to be made regarding Guardiola’s future, but ‘there is a feeling around the industry that he will leave’.

Ornstein wrote in a Q&A: ‘I don’t think a decision has been made. As you know from last time, Guardiola tends to leave it quite late before committing. There is a feeling around the industry that he will leave in the summer of 2025, however I currently have no evidence to back this up.’

Guardiola has been linked with a move back to Barcelona in recent months amid reports suggesting club legend Xavi is expected to leave the La Liga giants in the summer.

👉 Man City handed ‘major boost’ with Guardiola’s side ‘closer’ to signing Liverpool, Arsenal target

According to reports in Spain, Xavi’s days at Barcelona ‘are numbered’ and club president Joao Laporta has Guardiola in his sights.

The ‘return’ of Guardiola is the ‘big coup’ being ‘prepared’ by Laporta but he will ‘wait until the summer of 2025’ for what ‘would be the loudest homecoming in recent times’.

It is noted that Rafa Marquez would be drafted in as a ‘transitional coach’ before Laporta plans to ‘give everything for Guardiola’.

‘Pep Guardiola has no intention of renewing the contract with Manchester City and that is when Laporta wants to tempt the possibility of the return of the ‘prodigal son’. The relationship they maintain is perfect, but the Catalan coach sees some problems, even if they are not monetary, since he is aware of the difficult financial situation that the club of his life is going through.

‘He has doubts, but the Barcelona president is very persuasive and will do everything possible to convince him. Beyond the sky blue coach, men like Hansi Flick and Mikel Arteta are other options on the table.’
