The sudden interest of Pep Guardiola for Guehi is determined by two possible departures from Manchester City. Central defenders Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake are luggage made. The first one is in very advanced discussions with Galatasaray, and the British require 17 million euros.
As for Ake, Everton is ready to take him in the lot. However, City excludes a loan, after already giving up the “caramel”, still loan, Jack Grealish. If Akanji and Ake eventually leave – Daily Star anticipates – “Guardiola will surely conflict with Liverpool for Guehi.”
