Pep Guardiola Denies Rumors About Neymar

Manchester City is always one of the big players in the transfer market because they have a robust financial muscle to afford almost any player in the world.

That was demonstrated during this market with the signing of Erling Haaland, a player desired by half of the European clubs and who had several juicy offers on the table but ended up choosing the citizens.

In addition to Haaland, Manchester City has signed Kalvin Phillips, who arrived from Leeds for €48.7 million, to cover the loss of Fernandinho, goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has also arrived at the club, who signed as a free agent from Germany, and Julián Alvarez from River Plate.

Regarding the new players, Pep Guardiola said in a press conference during his pre-season tour that they give off good vibes.

“The first impressions of Julián (Álvarez), Kalvin (Phillips), Erling (Haaland) and Stefan (Ortega) were very good, they seem like good people. Having good vibes in the locker room is more important than tactics.”

But the transfer market has not closed, and neither have the rumors, since, in recent days, it has been mentioned that Neymar could land at the Etihad.

However, he denied these rumors and, with an ironic tone, invited the press not to believe everything that was said about City.

“I feel sorry for whoever gave the story, but it’s not true. Your information is not correct. Neymar is an incredible player, and according to the information I have, he is an incredibly nice person. So leave him alone, let him express the enormous talent that he has in Paris together with Messi and all the great stars that they have”. And then he added: “I would say that Manchester City each season bought 150 players, it seems that we are interested in players from all over the world. And they know that is not true. I feel sorry for Neymar, of course.”
