Manchester City displays a very dull face this season. If the quadruple defending England champion currently occupies 4ᵉ place in the classification of the Premier League before his trip to the lawn of Arsenal this Sunday, he returns from afar.
Indeed, between October and December, the Citizen club conceded 9 defeats in 15 games, all competitions combined. Admittedly, since the beginning of 2025, the Sky Blues seem to have regained a certain regularity, but their difficulties are nonetheless visible: a feverish defense, aging executives and an accumulation of injuries, including that of Rodri, Package for the rest of the season.
Busquets said no to City
To try to remedy it, Pep Guardiola sought solutions. Among them, the idea of recruiting his former player this winter at FC Barcelona, Sergio Busquets, who is evolving today at Inter Miami. But persuade the Spanish defensive midfielder to swap the Florida sun for the Eastlands turned out to be a mission impossible, as confirmed by the Catalan technician.
“No, because he's so happy in Miami. The weather is so pleasant! I spoke to Sergio, not for this problem, but many times, quite often. We have the same agent (his brother Pere Guardiola, editor's note), so I have been in contact for many years ”said the former Barça coach.
