Is Guardiola crazy? The 118 million heavenly king was abandoned, Manchester City sold two meritorious players only for the 26-year-old new player

Manchester City's locker room was completely blown up. Just after the season ended, Guardiola showed off the list of cleanings - 29-year-old Glalish and 30-year-old Stones were put on the shelves, the former priced at 40 million euros, while the latter only dared to ask for 30 million yuan. Two years ago, these two were the absolute main players of Manchester City's triple-winning champions, but now they have become the "abandoned son" of Guardiola's reconstruction. What's even more ruthless is that Manchester City is even willing to pay their wages to send them away just to make room to sign AC Milan midfielder Reindez.
Glalish's fall is the most regrettable. In 2023, he is still Guardiola's left-wing ace, and his data of 20 goals in a single season is unlimited. But this season, he was completely lost. In the FA Cup final, the roster was directly lost to the roster in the four key battles in the Premier League. The 3 goals and 5 assists record of 32 games is not worth 118 million euros. Guardiolanen can use 20-year-old Savigno, and she dare not bet on the status of this 100 million yuan man.
Stones's experience is even more heartbreaking. In his 8-year career in Blue Moon, he transformed from a "couple" to a Champions League central defender, but was dragged down by injuries at his thirty years. Only 20 appearances this season, the Glass Man's physique makes Premier League opponents dare to stare at him and attack hard. Manchester City is in a hurry to sell off, but Juventus and Saudi Arabia are still hesitating - who dares to take over this "patient" with a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds? While purged the old ministers, Manchester City spent 55 million pounds to lock in Reindes. The Dutch midfielder scored 15 goals in Serie A this season, and his scheduling ability is indeed impressive. But don’t forget that AC Milan only spent 20.5 million euros to buy him in 2023. If your net worth doubles in one year, is it real gold or a bubble? What's even more fatal is that after Manchester City sent De Bruyne away, he bet on a 26-year-old Serie A rookie, which is a risk that is comparable to walking a tightrope.
Guardiola's plan is very good - he used the veteran to cash out and exchanged a new player, betting that he would go to the Champions League again in the next three years. But looking at the performance of Sterling and Jesus after leaving the team, the players sold by Manchester City are like being taken away. Can Reindez carry Etihad's midfield? Glalish and Stones really have no chance of turning around?
When meritorious deeds become stepping stones for reconstruction, and when a 100 million yuan purchase becomes a discounted commodity, is Manchester City's gamble going ahead or destroying the Great Wall? If he misses the Champions League next season, how should Guardiola explain to his fans? What do you think about this? Welcome to leave your opinions in the comment section!
